here are some cool thought to think.

Does a clean house indicate that there is a broken computer in it?

Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day when mattresses are NOT on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with the hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

On electric toasters, why do they engrave the message 'one slice'? How many pieces of bread do they think people are really gonna try to stuff in that slot?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give their vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic garbage bag will open from the end you first try?

How do those dead bugs get into closed light fixtures?

Why do we wash BATH towels? Aren't we clean when we use them? If not, then what was the purpose of the bath?

Considering all the lint you get in your dryer, if you kept drying your
clothes would they eventually just disappear?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say 'Its all right'? It isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you moron"?

Why is it that when you're walking up the stairs and you get to the top you always think there's still one more step?

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

Is it true that the only difference between a yard sale and a trash pickup is how close to the road the stuff is placed?

In winter, why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

Why do women always ask questions that have no right answers?

Why do old men wear their pants higher than young men?

Why is it that inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened?

If diamonds are a girl's best friend, and a dog is man's best friend, who really is the dumber sex?

Why are the needy only thought of during the holidays? Aren't they just as needy throughout the rest of the year?

Why is it that men can react to broken bones as "just a sprain" and deep wounds as 'just a scratch", but when they get the sniffles they are deathly ill "with the flu" and have to be bedridden for weeks?

How come we never hear any father-in-law jokes?

Why do men forget everything, and women remember everything?

Do the Chinese get hungry an hour after they eat American food?

Shouldn't married men just forget their mistakes? After all there's no sense in two people remembering the same things, right?

Is the real reason women live longer than men because they don't have to live with women?

If at first you don't succeed, shouldn't you try doing it like your wife
told you to?

antics you do find the funniest things to send out in the forum. I love them but one other thing that should be added to that list is if there is an ad on tv about giving to the children of the third world and then offer to send you a tee shirt and a picture and the whole works. By the time they have paid for the advertizing and shirts and cards and all that good stuff, it is my understanding that out of every dollar that is sent their way for the starving children it works out to…….those poor children really get 1 penny on every dollar you send out for the poor……scary isn't it.

antics

I agree maggie. that is why I dont give to those places anymore. I wont give to drunks or drug addicts standing on corners waiting for handout either but I will give to their children. Many a time I have made up a hamper or even just a bag of stuff for a kid around here. One little girl was thrilled to get some shampoos etc that I was allergic too. I get a lot of them trying something new. I also gave her a bunch of t shirts that I got too fat for. :o) as well as paid for her lunches at the school for a week. she is not living with her idiot dad anymore but with her older sister and is doing great now. better to give close to home and improve your own neighbor hood than deal with an organization that spends billions on advertising.

I think that with the toaster one… what it means is if you have one slice put it in this side. There is usually arrows along with the "one slice". (;

antics

oh I think we all knew that Nelson. hope so anyhow. it is kind of like the tear along dotted line does not mean we run on it. :o)

Actually i was wondering did youw ant answers to all of them??? I know the answers to all of them..
I also do not give to those organizations or druggys.. or drunks..
but.. in scarth st mall there are people who play music in the summer..
it is nice to be able to listen to them.. .. those and in bigger cities usually have people who do some kind of act..
those people i would give money to… as they are not just begging.. they are earning a living.. even though it may be tough.. ( i actually heard some good ones make alot of money, but that is beside the point.. point being they aren't begging) .. and i agree with helping out your neighbor hood 1st..

Those big organizations usually don't have to pay for TV time or advertising as most of that is Donated from the TV stations.. and the time the celebrities is usually also donated…
which means 98 % of the money donated is going to those kids..
it would be nice to know 100% is.. but the fact of it is.. it isn't 100%
I would probably give more myself, but the fact of the matter is i am trying to make ends meet… and the house i am buying.. will help make that easier..
My morgage payments are less than my rent..
