I have a post that I want to do and have photos ready to go, but I am having a hard time coming up with a title…And it was in thinking about what to call that post that I felt inspired to spend some time on those rhetorical questions that I just love! I hope that these put a smile on your face!
** What do they call occasional furniture the rest of the time?
** Did you know that they deliver occasional furniture in semi-trucks?
** Why do they call that truck a semi?
** Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
** Why are there interstate highways on the Island of Hawaii?
** Can you imagine getting sick at the airport and having the terminal Dr. wait on you?
** Why do Dr.’s just practice medicine?
** Why is it that your nose runs and your feet smell?
** If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from?
** Why do banks have Braille at the drive up ATM’s?
** Why do they call it a pair of pants when you only get one?
** Why is the person who helps you invest your money called a broker?
** If a clergyman can get defrocked, then wouldn’t that mean that electricians can be delighted, dry cleaners depresssed and cowboys deranged?
** We can buy Preparation H, so what happened to A – G?
** Why do you need a driver’s license to buy alcohol, but you cannot drink and drive?
** Why is it that when you transport something by ship it is called cargo, and when you transport something by car it is called shipment?
** If the little black box is the only thing to survive a plane crash, why don’t they make the planes out of the same material?
** Those 24 hour stores? Why do they have locks on their doors?
Now go out and have a great Tuesday!
If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from? This one was my favorite and cracked me up. Baby oil comes from babies. LOL!
Very good! Thanks for the smiles!
I forgot one: Aren’t all newborns babies?
Pretty clever thinking/musing on your part!!
Why do they call the person who helps you invest a broker? Having been in the financial industry for 30 years, I learned this in my first week as a broker. It’s because once you give them your money, you will feel broker.
Why is it your feet smell ….. etc? Because you are built upside down.
Black boxes actually are red and if you build planes out of the same material, you will never get the plane off the ground … too heavy.
Yes, there are a lot of delighted electricians … especially if they get lit up.
Thanks Gadfly!
These are so fun! Thanks for sharing!!

Glad you enjoyed them Kenley!
Good rhetorical questions that bring up others such as – why is the ‘k’ not pronounced in words like knife or knight? Why are words pronounced the same but have different meanings such as – blue and blew?
Thanks for the morning chuckle Barbara (and food for thought)! Enjoy your day!
You too Liz! Glad to give you the chuckle!
