1. Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

because we get aggravated

2. Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money?
so that people don't write checks that exceed their funds; it teaches people a lesson...? 😆

3. Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
because there is no way for the average person to verify that there really are four billion stars, so he/she just accepts it. on the other hand, a person can easily verify if paint is wet.

4. Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
the same reason why not all glue sticks to wood or plastic. must be some special ingredient 😆

5. Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
because it's the law; the person injecting the inmate is still liable for the health of others around him/her that might come in contact with an unsterilized needle lying around.

6. Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
i don't know. disney thought that he'd be hotter without the beard...

7. Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
because he's superman; he uses a variety of methods when it comes to defending himself 😆

8. Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
so that they don't die because of a head injury before completing their mission

9. Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lips"?
whoever decided that "lips" was plural

10. If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
scientifically, humans didn't evolve from apes; humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor, which then evolved into different species

11. Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
i don't know what bubble bath you use, but the bubbles i've seen are always clear 😆

12. Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
good question! no, mattresses always seem to be on sale. it's probably because the average American is so busy that a good night's sleep is very useful.

13. Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
hmmm...maybe i should ask myself that question 😆. i think it's because we expect to see something in the fridge that we might have not noticed earlier (something that would inspire us to prepare a delicious meal).

14. Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
because we are determined and stubborn (at least to some extent). we know we can do it!

15 Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
really? i've opened a plastic bag on my first try...

16. How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
magic!
*sings* do you believe in magic....in a young girl's heart?

17. When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"
courtesy

18. Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
because you're so focused on catching that one item that you fail to pay attention to stuff surrounding you.

19. In Winter, why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in Summer, when we complained about the heat in Summer?
mmm...not at my house. in the winter, the heat is constantly on, and in the summer, the air conditioner is constantly on.

20. How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
because the mother-in-laws are usually the ones that give you a pain in the butt
