When I use to eat pizza, I hated the square cut. So next time I called I orderedit to be cut in triangles. Id didn't happen. Called and complained, yet next pizza still came with squares. Pizza should come in triangles, not squares! Individual pizzas are cut in triangles, why can't large pizzas be done that way! :rant;

The one I've always wondered about...

Someone who doesn't eat much, is said to "Eat like a bird", but birds eat like their own body weight every day; someone who eats a lot "Eats like a pig", but a pig eats a very little bit; just enough til he feels full.  :urcrazy;

I think that saying might refer to how sloppily someone eats. Pigs are very messy when they eat!

Here's some more...

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

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is  wet?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word  "lisp"?

What is the speed of darkness?

If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I’ll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?" 

Who  was the first person to say, "See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its bum." 

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? 

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but  don't point to  their bum when they ask where the bathroom  is? 

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet  Soup?
 
Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

I have some answer for these questions!
Here's some more...

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are dead? Because I just put batteries in the damn thing and it should be working!

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough? But I have to have money, I still have checks.

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is  wet? I just got to touch it! Just got to!

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word  "lisp"? To make an example of itself.

What is the speed of darkness? The same as the speed of light only darker, much darker.

If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be? Pretty damn cold, I'd say.

Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? Seems longer.

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I’ll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?" That would be Farmer Smith from down the road. The cows were just hanging out one day and Farmer Smith decided to make it worth his while.

Who  was the first person to say, "See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its bum."  That was Framer Brown up the river a bit.  The chicken was just standing there and plop came the egg.

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?   The freezer does not lead a light to find its way out of the darkness.

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but  don't point to  their bum when they ask where the bathroom  is? 

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? Testticals :rofl; (I had to do it!)

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet  Soup? No, but Alphabet Cereal really gets them going!
 
Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster? No, it aggravates the little girl who controls these things. Push once only or face severe consequences!
