He will meet the love of his life on Thursday if ten people post in his thread. Only a few more! Come on!!!! He will also win the lottery if someone can work the phrase "peach flavored roof shingle sandwich" into their post. Tough one that.

I thought they were funny.

Some of them are clever - mascara with the mouth open... mouse flavored cat food.... but some of them are astonishingly simpleminded. There are several meanings of the word "terminal" "broker" and "practice." Dish Soap has ONE DROP of lemon juice in it to help sell it to people. The OP noticed, so the marketing ploy works. Why don't they make the whole plane out of the black box material? What is this... 1995 stand up comedy? You could make the exterior of the black box out of cardboard, duct tape, and paper clips, and if buried deep in the correct portion of the plane it would be just fine in lots of crashes. Last I knew, no aircraft crash ever has began with the black box hitting the mountain FIRST. It is not kept in the nose of the plane or on a leading edge of the wing.....

A few good ones, surrounded by a few mediocre ones, and a lot of crap. Like shooting 100 I bet.

In this reply, I will suck all of the fun out of the original post.  In the 20 years that have passed since most of these jokes have been 'written', great scientific minds were able to find the answers to these conundrums.

2. Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke. Some people actually prefer the taste of diet soda and although the meal will kill you, you're still saving a good 400+ calories by not drinking the regular.

3. Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.  Pens are easy to take whether intentionally or unintentionally.  Not so for stealing out of a vault.

4.Why do we leave cars worth thousands of $$$$$ in our driveways and put our useless junk in the garage.  Convenience and ease of storage.

EVER WONDER ...

5. Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?  Melanin in our skin, not in our hair.

6. Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?  I think a more pertinent question is how can women manage to put on mascara in a moving car.  Also, keeping mouths closed isn't really a strength for many women.

7. Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'? The existence of true psychic ability is questionable.

8. Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?  Because it's not an abbreviation.

9. Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'? One of the accepted definitions of the word practice is 'the business of a professional person'.

10. Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavouring, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons? Shelf stability, costs, and marketing.

11. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? This could be asked "Why is losing all of your money called 'going broke'?"

12. Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?  People are in a rush to get to or from work.

13. Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Cats aren't necessarily attracted to the taste of mice.  It's the motion and act of hunting that intrigues them.

14. Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? His charge did not include screening survivors before acceptance onto the Ark.

15. Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? Because lawyers are involved and no state wants to pay out a settlement for giving a dead guy a disease.

16. You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!  The indestructability of the black box most likely comes mainly from it's location inside the structure.  You'll see the same result with a quarter that is stored in the center console of a car that's involved in a really bad crash.  And yet we know that making a car out of the same material used to make quarters wouldn't really be that beneficial.

17. Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?  The shrinkage mainly occurs within the fabric's weave and not in the threads themselves.

18. Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?  The word was created to describe distinct and separate (apart) living spaces housed within a single entity.  It is the fact that they are stuck together that makes them apartments.  Otherwise, another title (e.g., rental unit) is more appropriate.

19. If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?  Synonyms.  The general definition of terminal refers to a 'boundary' or 'end'.  Just as airports are at the ends (or boundaries) of flights, so is death the end (or boundary) of life.

20. Why Golf is such a stupid game and golfers still playing it.....It beats mowing the lawn or talking to your significant other on a warm Saturday.

Kudos. I nearly did the same thing but gave up around question four when I realized the answers were all obvious. :-)

Or should be obvious, anyway.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
