Our world is messed up.

Why do they call it apartments when their all stuck together?
Why do they say that 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea? Does that mean that the fifth person enjoys it?
Why do we leave expensive cars in the driveway and useless junk in the garage?
Why do people tell you when they are speechless?
Why do we wash towels? Aren't you clean when you get out of the shower?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
Why do doctors call what they do, 'a practice'?
Why do grocery stores have so many checkout lines when they only keep a few open?
Why do they call it, getting your dog "fixed", when afterwards your dog doesn't work?
If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, then why try?
Why do they call it a funny bone? Cause when you hit it, it isn't funny.
Why do people say 'heads up' when they should really say 'heads down'?
Why do you have to pay a toll on freeways?
Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?


Whew.

Re: Our world is messed up.

The alphabet is actually based on the Roman Alphabet.

Re: Our world is messed up.

I will try to answer:

ProgrammingFreak wrote:

Why do they call it apartments when their all stuck together? Uhh...all apartments aren't stuck together, just separate rooms in one big building.
Why do they say that 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea? Does that mean that the fifth person enjoys it? No...it means that 4 out of 5 people have  diarrhea and suffer from it, and the last person just doesn't have it.
Why do we leave expensive cars in the driveway and useless junk in the garage?Um, what? I never heard of people doing that  tongue
Why do people tell you when they are speechless? Good point. But if you played a REALLY good piece on the piano, and they didn't say anything, wouldn't you be curious? People just say "I'm speechless" because they don't know what else to say
Why do we wash towels? Aren't you clean when you get out of the shower?Yeah, but over the days the towels get gross (I don't know why).
Why does a round pizza come in a square box? It's easier to carry!
Why do doctors call what they do, 'a practice'?STUPIDITY ALERT! I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF DOCTORS DOING "A PRACTICE".
Why do grocery stores have so many checkout lines when they only keep a few open?Never though of that. But when I go to my grocery store, all the checkout lines are open (Well, most are).
Why do they call it, getting your dog "fixed", when afterwards your dog doesn't work?WHAT?! I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO ANSWER THAT!
If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, then why try? It's just a saying. It means that practice will make your profession (Or whatever you are trying to do) as close to perfect as possible  tongue
Why do they call it a funny bone? Cause when you hit it, it isn't funny. It sure FEELS funny/
Why do people say 'heads up' when they should really say 'heads down'?That's good, but they want to get your attention to see that somethings coming at you, so you can either dodge it or catch it.
Why do you have to pay a toll on freeways?Dunno.
Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song??


Whew.

I know, I didn't answer all of the questions.
Now, don't reply to this post insulting me.
I was bored, and I was kidding around!
tongue

Re: Our world is messed up.

In no order:

So you come out of the shower and the first thing you want to do is get a towel and rub filth all over your body?

Expensive cars are normally the ones people drive in, imagine having to clear your drive every time you wanted to get out.

The freeway charges you because they're taxing you for using the road, it's an American thing.

Pizza boxes are square because they're much easier to make and can hold different sizes of pizza. Making a circular box is more expensive for something which is worse than the cheaper option.

The funny bone's real name is the humorous, enough said.

Practice makes what you're doing perfect, the phrase "Nobody's perfect" means everybody has a bad trait, not that they're not good at anything.

Because it fixes the problem you're having with the dog.

"Suffering" is used for advertising, it makes you remember how bad it was/is.

They have multiple checkouts for Christmas and the like, when there's a lot of people in, otherwise they're just paying people to sit around and do nothing.

Because the rooms are apart from eachother.

Professions are also called practices, the place they do it at is a practice.
