I Wonder

Why is it when somebody does you a favour and you thank them they say things such as:

"Don't worry about it."

"Don't mention it."

" You don't have to thank me!"

But the next time that somebody does you a favour and you don't say 'thanks'- that person gets pissed off?


Why is that only a rare few are gifted with the ability to make good coffee? And even a rarer few can a good cup of coffee consistently?


What is the collective noun for clitorises? And shouldn't 'clitorises' be 'clitorides'?

Why do people wait for your favourite TV show to be on before they ring you up?

Why do gigantic spiders have to shrivel up to the size of a pea when you kill them, and thereby invoke the scorn and laughter of those you show them too, instead of their admiration?

Why do all the parties and social activities happen when you're flat out busy with chores, duties, and commitments- and stop as

soon as you are no longer busy?

Why does a unattractive single guy become so attractive to women once he gets into a relationship? Ok, the fact that he is now in

relationship- probably makes him more confident and more attractive-- but what did the initiatial woman who decided that she wanted

the relationship with this guy see that the other woman didn't?

Why do a lot of underpaid and unappreciated people who have been at the bottom rung of the latter of their job for years, refer to the

company that they work for-in terms of a 'we' as in:

"We made a record profit this year."

Really? And,yet, despite working like a dog- you didn't get a pay rise or bonus.


Why were the Skipper and Gilligan so chummy? And why did neither Ginger or Marianne get pregnant?

Why is the plural of goose-geese, but the plural of moose-moose, and the plural of caboose-cabooses?
