Why are they called buildings when they’re all ready built? Why does the Department of the Interior deal with stuff that’s outside? Who does Michael Jackson think is weird? Why does the IRS have the word “service” in it? How do midgets use yo-yos? What are “live active cultures” in yogurt? Do all weird foods, such as frog legs, pigsfeet, and fried squirrel breast, really taste like chicken? And if so, wouldn’t it be easier to just eat chicken instead? If father knows best, what does Uncle Fred know? Why is it called the “rush hour” when nobody seems to be in a hurry? Can’t Sam Donaldson afford a better rug with that salary? And last but not least, why do people say, “…and last but not least…” when they end a list? I am not a trained professional…I’m just nuts ---
