L8_4thesh0w Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Some situations in the US can be confusing if you really think about it, but I'm sure we don't have a monopoly on things that make you scratch your head and wonder WTF. As described; no political, nor rants of any other kind are allowed. This is the place to list questions you don't really expect to have answered. Such as... Why does the university of the "Fighting Irish" have a French name? Σß Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Why do we say we're mowing the lawn but call the byproduct cut grass. Why don't we just say we're cutting the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The bit with "smell" from Duane made me remember one about the cowboy who came into a restaurant on cattle sale day and an urban tourist scrunched up her nose and said undiplomatically, "Sir, you smell!" to which he responded, "Ma'am, YOU smell. I stink." m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quapman Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Why does nose hair have to grow so bloody fast??? Nose hair I can handle. I wanna know when that single 1.5 inch hair sprouted off the top of my ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Quap... RE that ear hair... I think it's an arithmatic inversion of loss of hair on other parts of the head. <grin> I'm not normally a violent person or one to make physical threats, but I have consistently made threats of serious physical damage to the two barbers across the street from the office - and those turkeys keep ignoring them - and using the mirror to show me the back of my head. #$%#$%#%@#$%@ <sigh> dunno why they weren't too scared to do so. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
