Question 42

Rhetorical questions ... to which I want answers:

1. If I'm not supposed to stick anything smaller than my elbow into my ear, why do they make Q-tips so damn small?

2. Why does the hair on my legs grow back to the length it was pre-shave the very instant I sneeze?

3. Why, when I drop something in the bathroom, does it always fall behind the toilet?

4. Why does chewing gum lose its flavor after 10 seconds of continuous chewing?

5. Why do they bother to make yellow and green sour patch kid flavors? Or Lifesavers for that matter?

The lyrics below deeply affected me when I first heard them years ago. Today they seem a bit dark, but I still can see why they affected me as they did.

"Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you." - Neil Young - Old Man

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why can't it be, why can't it be mine" - Pearl Jam - Black

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone.

From Jeff:

What is the furthest (or is it farthest?) distance you've driven in one day?

Have you ever driven in a country where they drive on the "wrong" side of the road? Any humorous anecdotes or near-death experiences?

From Kaf:

If you were given 6 months to live ...

Where in the world do you want to visit before you died?

You're dead. What mode of transport do you take to your funeral (c'mon - you've had 6 months to plan it.. surely you've thought of something!)
