Which letter is silent in the word "Scent," the S or the C?
Do twins ever realize that one of them was unplanned?
Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn't it be called double V?
Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you, and it just takes 75-100 years to fully work.
Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty.
The word "swims" upside-down is still "swims."
100 years ago, everyone owned a horse, and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses .
If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, Where and When" you get the answer to each of them.
FOUR GREAT UNRESOLVED CONFUSIONS!
1) At a movie theater, which armrest is yours?
2) If people evolved from monkeys, why are monkeys still
around?
3) Why is there a 'D' in fridge, but not in refrigerator?
4) Who knew what time it was when the first clock was made?
ODDITIES OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE:
Why does the word "Funeral" start with FUN?
Why isn't a fireman called a waterman?
How come Lipstick doesn't do what it says?
If money doesn't grow on trees, how come banks have branches?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
How do you get off a non-stop flight?
Why are goods sent by ship called CARGO, and those sent by truck called SHIPMENT?
Why do we put cups in the dishwasher, and dishes in the cupboard?
Why is it called "Rush Hour" when traffic moves at its slowest then?
Why do noses run and feet smell ?
Why do they call it a TV "set" when there is only one?
What are you vacating when you go on a vacation?
Who thinks this stuff up?
[ Probably retired people who don't have much to do or those of us stuck in isolation ]
