Random Thoughts III


Once again it is time for more of these brain rattlers to come pouring out in the form of “Random Thoughts.”  Let’s visit these teasers together.
 

  • Why do microwave ovens have lights that turn on while cooking?
  • Too many shoppers confuse me for the doorman simply because I politely hold the door for them; now they don’t have to say, “Thank you.”
  • It’s odd that no one in the current administration can use the word “terrorist.”
  • Speaking of which, how do you say, “Hands up, don’t shoot!” in French?
  • Is there so much racial disparity in America that we can’t find five white guys to play basketball, or half-dozen black guys to play ice hockey?
  • Why are all the marathons won by people from African nations?
  • How is it that my guest sofa bed is the most comfortable in the world?
  • Who gets to name things like the ‘polar vortex?’
  • Don’t politicians know that they are on the public dole because they are incapable of making a living in the private sector?
  • All those whiners that complain they can’t save for retirement, but buy motorcycles and go-carts as toys, deserve to live in squalor when they reach 65.
  • Where is all the .22 LR ammunition?
  • Rather than the mechanics of a condom, schools need to teach kids how to use a trash can.
  • Why don’t any lamp timers keep time?
  • Is it a law that every guy has to pee on the floor in a public bathroom?
  • Do cats and dogs get bored eating the same dry crunchy food day-in and day-out?
  • Why not give a breeding pair of extinct animals to farmers?  They seem to be able to keep the chicken and beef populations in control and on grocery store shelves.
  • It is so cold that politicians have their hands in their own pockets.
  • Why don’t stores retire those shopping carts with the wobbly wheels?
  • “Tire rotation” is a bad term since they rotate automatically when you drive.
  • How come a soldier can’t carry a gun while stateside, but can be trusted with all sorts of destructive devices elsewhere?
  • If Canadians have such a great health care system, why do they come here for medical treatment?
  • How did Americans get so stupid?  Just channeling Jonathan Gruber’s thoughts.
  • Santa Clau – er – President Obama wants to goad Congress into giving away free college educations.  Where is this guy getting all this money?
  • When did the Ferguson riots become my fault merely because I’m white?  I’ve never been to Ferguson and have no desire to go there.
  • All vehicles are required, by law, to have air-bags but, they were purchased from a company that doesn’t make air-bags that work.  Hmmm.
  • Where is that Malaysian plane?
  • Is Sears still in business?  If so, it shouldn’t be.
  • A string of LED Christmas lights – the ones that last 10,000 hours – is already kaput.  They lied.
  • If I have to wear a seatbelt for safety, why don’t motorcyclists have to wear helmets for safety?
  • A fishing license doesn’t mean I know how to fish anymore than a driver’s license means you know how to drive.
  • Those signs that say “Slower traffic keep right,” means your other right.
  • I wonder if Lance Armstrong rides his bike to work.
