This just got passed around at work. I found it amusing and I'm bored..so I decided to post.

1) Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?

2) If the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the Jags, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers known as the Bucs, what does that make the Tennessee Titans?

3) If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea, does that mean one enjoys it?

4) If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

5) Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

6) If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?

7) What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?

8) If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

9) Whatever happened to Preparation A through G?

I've never wondered any of those things.

(on the nasty car boards I'm on)
If Nissan Motorsports is called Nismo, is Honda Motorsports called Homo?

Then there's the classics:

Why do we park on a driveway and drive on the parkway?
Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it's sounds?

Hahah this is kinda a personal state joke type thing considering I live in TN. I'd love to hear a sports announcer announce the nickname though. Could you imagine.. Yeah those Tits are going to do a great job tonight. They are favored to out score the other team. . But for some reason I can keep seeing the camera guy doing close ups on the cheerleaders instead of the football players themselves.

Finally! This photo made me giggle but noone ever seems to mention UPS so I haven't had an excuse to use it.

Hey, UPS is a New England company, got to show some loyalty here!

You go, Mint! :aww:

Parkway is traditionally bordered or centered by parklands, such as wooded groves and wildflowers and other "natural pretty things to look at."

Driveway is the thing you drive your carriage (or currently, your car) onto, to get to the house.

A well-designed smoking section will have a seperate, specially-designed ventillation system and walls that prevent the smoke from spilling over into the rest of the building. Something similar is done in -some- swimming pools that have "kiddie pools" attached to them, where the water doesn't mix from one to the next.

Just thought I'd bust a couple of bubbles for fun.

Because we are DUTCH.

They'd go by eyebrow colour.

Hehe, I've seen that UPS vs FedEx picture somewhere.

Off topic..my boyfriend and I were grocery shopping once and this woman came barrelling out of an aisle with her cart, she was wearing a UPS uniform and almost knocked us and our cart over. So my boyfriend says in an unnaturally loud whisper, "She must be one of the truck drivers."

She totally heard him and I couldn't stop giggle-snorting.
