<p>I know&#8230; you probably saw this as one of those emails that people circulate around the office, and that&#8217;s where I got it, but heck, this one is right up our club&#8217;s alley.Â  So, I didn&#8217;t write it, i&#8217;m just reporting. Feel free to comment.</p>

<p>Here are a few things to think about that you probably have never thought about;</p>
<ol>
<li>Can you cry under water?</li>
<li>How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinatedÂ  instead of just murdered?</li>
<li>Why do you have to &#8220;put your two cents in&#8221;.. . but it&#8217;sÂ  only a &#8220;penny for your thoughts&#8221;? Where&#8217;s that extra penny goingÂ  to?</li>
<li>Once you&#8217;re in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried inÂ  for eternity?</li>
<li>Why does a round pizza come in a square box?</li>
<li>Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the sameÂ  tune?</li>
<li>WhyÂ  did you just try singing the two songs above?</li>
<li>Why is it that people say they &#8220;slept like a baby&#8221; when babies wake up likeÂ  every two hours?</li>
<li>If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called aÂ  hearing?</li>
<li>Why are you IN a movie, but you&#8217;re ON TV?</li>
<li>Why do they call it an asteroid when it&#8217;s outside the hemisphere, but call itÂ  a hemorrhoid when it&#8217;s in your butt?</li>
<li>Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They&#8217;re going to see you nakedÂ  anyway.</li>
<li>Why is &#8220;bra&#8221; singular and &#8220;panties&#8221; plural</li>
<li>Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horribleÂ  crisp, which no decent human being would eat?</li>
<li>If the professor on Gilligan&#8217;s Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can&#8217;t he fix a hole in a boat?</li>
<li>Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They&#8217;re bothÂ  dogs!</li>
<li>If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn&#8217;t heÂ  just buy dinner?</li>
<li>If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables,Â  what is baby oil made from?</li>
<li>DoÂ  you ever wonder why you gave me your e-mail address in the firstÂ  place?</li>
