Finances & Money

Some humorous ponderings for your Friday

Thanks to my cousin Dave for these insights. You may have seen some of them wandering the internet, or asked yourself these questions:

  1. Why do you have to “put your two cents in”.. but it’s only a “penny for your thoughts”? Where’s that extra penny going to?
  2. Once you’re in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
  3. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
  4. How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
  5. Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up like every two hours?
  6. Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
  7. If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
  8. If the professor on Gilligan’s Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can’t he fix a hole in a boat?
  9. If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn’t he just buy dinner?
  10. Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
  11. Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
  12. Do you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride; he sticks his head out the window?

Enjoy your weekend! And the Super Bowl!
