Once Again I Have Questions (Good ones too)


Why do people always have their cake and eat it too? Why doesn’t anyone have their pie and eat it too?

Why do things always run the gamut? Couldn’t they simply walk it some of the time?


We often hear about something being the last straw. How about a warning when there’s still a straw or two to go?


I often hear of people making bucket lists. I’m surprised so many people own enough buckets to make a list of them. 


We’re often told to put our hands together in recognition of an entertainer or speaker. Doesn’t that render it impossible to applaud them? Don’t we need our hands apart?


Why don’t people “make it snappy” anymore? Doesn’t seem that people “get the lead out” anymore either.


We used to be told to be places at two o’clock “sharp” Where did “sharp” go in this context?


Why are people always “in the middle of nowhere”? You never hear of people being on the outskirts of nowhere.


Doesn’t nowhere have to be somewhere? If nowhere were nowhere it wouldn’t exist.


Saturdays and Sundays get a lot of attention because they comprise the weekend. Friday is beloved because it kicks off the weekend. Monday is hated because it starts the work week. Thursday is liked because it portends the coming weekend. Wednesday is recognized as hump day. But what about Tuesday? Is it a day with no personality?


People often go the extra mile. Why just the one? Why not go extra miles?


You sometimes hear of people walking on eggshells. Why didn’t anyone sweep up those eggshells? Who leaves eggshells on the floor?


I heard of something being a blessing in disguise. The obvious question here is: why would anyone disguise a blessing?


You ever someone say, “it’s not rocket science”? Okay but have you ever heard a rocket scientist say it?


They say that it when it rains in pours. But doesn’t often just sprinkle?


Who is "they"?


I’ve been told that an event will happen, “rain or shine.” Did you really need to tell me it would happen on a sunny day?


If you don’t count your chickens before they hatch, how are you going to know how many chickens you have?


Ever try to wrap your head around something? It’s physically impossible. 


Sometimes people play the devil’s advocate. So why doesn’t anyone play God’s advocate?


What's with the word "so"? People are so tired. So cute. So hungry? So pissed. So tired that what? So cute that what? So hungry that what? So pissed that what? So tired that what? So sick of this word.


Do people ever say, "let's get this party started" before an actual party?


Why is that concessions stands at sports venues never make any actual concessions?
