LIFE'S IMPONDERABLES
The definition of "imponderable" is "cannot be estimated or assessed in any definite way" or "something difficult or impossible to assess".
Not all those listed on this site fall strictly into this category if given enough thought. For example - "Why do shops have signs saying ' Guide dogs only' when dogs can't read? Obviously the sign is meant for (non guide) dog owners who can read.
Nevertheless they do give something to think about!
How come they never tell stories about Jesus Christ when he was a teenager?
How do the cell phone companies choose your cell phone number and will the companies one day run out of numbers to issue?
How come we don't pronounce the year 2000 as twenty hundred - like 1900 and 2007 as twenty o seven?
What does the back of the tongue look like?
In the movies or TV shows what exactly do "extras" talk about in the background? Do they just move their mouths or pretend they are talking about something interesting?
If Walmart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing in the store is free yet?
If something "goes without saying", why do people still say it?
If olive oil comes from olives, why doesn't baby oil come from babies?
If a cow laughs hard, does milk come out it's nose?
Why is it in Walmarts, there is a sign that says this exit is not an entrance? Isn't that implied it is not an entrance when it is called an exit?
Why do they put the yield signs in front of train tracks? Do people really think they have the right of way over the train?
If a police officer is on a way to the crime, and he sees another one on the way to the original one, does he stop? or does he go where he is called?
Why is it police officers do not wear their seat belts when we get fined if we don't? Are they not able to be thrown from the car?
Why do we call it a near-miss? If we avoided an accident, shouldn't it be called a "near-hit".
When a car is on an ad on tv and the car is moving forward why are the wheels turning backward?
Why do men have nipples?
Why are submarines fitted with screen doors?
Where does your lap go when you stand up?
Why as an open door called ajar?
Why can't you keep your eyes open whilst you sneeze?
Why can you never find anywhere to hang a skyhook?
more next time.
