When I blew on the Buffledog's nose I always got kisses!!! ;)
These are really great. I especially like the assassination/murder and in movies/on tv ones. I love language oddities like that. And yes, I tried to sing twinkle twinkle little star...
Michele sent me this time.
Oooh, food for thought!
You have given us much food for thought and many smiles. Having been associated with printers and packagers most my career, I do know round pizzas are in square boxes because it's vastly cheaper to make them square. As for all the others, damned if I know. Where in the heck did you get these, or did you make them all up yourself?
These are wonderful, kenju! Just what I needed today! and thanks for your kind words...
Thank you Kenju.
Now I have enough one-liners to annoy my friends over Christmas!
Why is Blogger preventing me from using my usual sign-in? Not your fault, I need to Rant.
"Why does a round pizza come in a square box?"
Because the triangular ones are so hard to get.
Great list of teasers. I've seen some of these before but some are new.

These are great!
I have another one for you:
How come parcels that are sent by air are 'cargo' while parcles sent on the road are 'frieght'? And how come , no matter which way an itme is sent to you, it's referred to as 'shipping' even if it doesn't cross water?! :)
now that you have asked all these good questions you have to give us the answers.
Michele sent me.
Thanks for the chuckles:)
Hi Judy. Dropping by from my BlackBerry (donating plasma with some help from our 7-year-old) to thank you for the perfectly timed series of laughs.
Michele's laughing, too!
Most of those are new to me and got me wondrin'. Life is ridiculous at times isn't it?
OL, LOL.....T hese are great, Judy! I think I like the Asteroid and the Hemeroid the best.....The Irny of ALL these is quite wonderful! LOL!
LOL! Funny stuff.
Oh dear, these questions are going to keep me thinking for awhile. Why is life so complicated?
Wow a whole lot of thought went into these. You've been brainstorming. Good to see someone's been productive lately! hehe
These are good questions to ponder.
I will now call my bra, a bras, and I will call my panties, my panty.
It makes more sense, but it will take some effort to get used to saying bras and panty.
IT'S RAINING JUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Maybe now I can brush my teeth and wash my dishes without feeling guilty.
You're way too deep for me, Kenju. I'm busy trying to figure out why my XM radio is playing garbage.
Michele sent me today!
I just came here from a site where I didn't get any peanut butter. Now you're going to tell me I don't get any chocoloate eclairs, either.
