I Wonder Why!

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman duck when the villain throws the empty gun at him, especially after standing straight and taking the bullets on his chest?

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, “I think I’ll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?”

Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up every two hours?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don’t point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Stop singing and read on, Yes, it caught me too!

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?
