Why is the Sky Blue?

Posted on by writerchick

I’m in a questioning mood tonight so here are a few favorites:

  • Why is the sky blue?
  • Why does the Easter Bunny have eggs in his basket instead of fuzzy slippers?
  • Why does Santa wear red? And where did Mrs. Claus get all that velvet?
  • Why do we take the day off on Labor Day?
  • Why do you need a battery-operated device to open a package of batteries?
  • If my father had blue eyes and my mother is a redhead, what day was I born on and at what speed was I traveling while sliding down the chute?
  • If scientists know how to split an atom how come a group of friends don’t know how to split a check?
  • How come my room mate can spot a weed on his lawn at 50 paces but can’t see a week’s worth of coffee drips on the counter in front of his coffee machine?
  • Why is there so much hair in a man’s bathroom?
  • Why is my dog always happy to see me?
  • Why does the sun set but the moon rises?
  • Why do we always have to give in to the people who whine the most?
  • Why do bald men do comb-overs?
  • Why do women diet when they gain weight and men buy bigger shirts?

Talk amongst yourselves. 😉

  1. If progress means going forward what does congress mean ? If you spin a chinese person around and around will he become disoriented ? And if we drive on the parkway why do we park in the driveway ?

    Love the comparison of congress.

  2. Why is there so much hair in a man’s bathroom?
    I live with four women and have snaked out the drain in the shower. I shave my coconut so the nasty clumps of hair I pulled up came from somewhere.
    I’m beginning to think my drain pipes wear fur coats.
    Men that comb their hair over will always be a source of delight for me.
    I’ve always said that when I turn 70, I want to get together a GB/Wedding band of old guys. We will call ourselves Comb-over5000.
    Think of the possiblities…

    Well I understand the plight of men who live with multiple women but I was speaking to a bathroom used/owned exclusively by a man. I guess that point is a wash then?

    Comb-over5000, sounds fantastic. Will they be covering any Lawrence Welk tunes?

  3. Ok, here’s my 2c worth:
    -Santa wears red with thanks to Coca Cola. I do believe he used to wear green and he wasn’t the commercial symbol he’s become until a marketing campaign. I’ll look into it further and get back to you. As for the velvet, doesn’t that come from deer antlers?? How many reindeer did there USED to be??!
    -The sky is blue because it’s not green.
    -I don’t need a battery operated device to open my batteries, I need a chainsaw, I buy in bulk 🙂
    -Any question regarding men and cleanliness/vanity/hair etc can be answered by two words. Another Planet.

    Got a couple of questions of my own that i’ve asked previously and never had answered, maybe your readers can help me out:
    -How did the saying ‘attention span of a goldfish’ come about? Has anyone actually measured their attention span? If so – HOW?? And the more interesting one – WHY??!!
    – What is it about children’s ears that render them perfect for use UNLESS it’s their mother’s voice being heard?
    -What twilight zone entity sneaks into my house at night and puts coathangers in the wardrobe and steals socks and pens? And just what are they doing with them??

    Cheers, Kelly

    Ah, the coca-cola connection – I never thought of that. And oh, the poor reindeers! Wow, you must buy very large packages of batteries. LOL.

    To answer your questions: children have a special button in their ears which I believe is called ‘mom-dar’. Don’t know about the coat hangers but your pens and socks are likely in the same place as my dish rags and matches. Apparently, there are a lot of scientists with time on their hands, because they are not only measuring the attention span of goldfish but also of fruit flies (this in the research for the stupid pill. seems to me, stupid is as stupid does). I think I may start a movement that requires all scientists to sign up for online dating services – could improve their perspective.

  4. If scientists know how to split an atom how come a group of friends don’t know how to split a check?

    Because no one wants to be the bitch that says “you owe this much”.

    Lass, I once had a ‘friend’ who when a group of us were out to dinner would figure out the check and tells us each what we owed. We would each give her cash, including tip and she would put the bill on her charge card. What I didn’t discover until later was that she was pocketing some of the tip money – leaving the waiter/waitress about half of what we had put out for them. Nice, eh? After that, I started asking for a separate bill.

  6. Why do they put braille pads at Drive-Up ATMS ?
    And now Santa can no longer say the words Ho Ho Ho it ‘s politcally incorrect he has to say Lady of the Evening, Lady of the Evening, Lady of the Evening!
    And it can’t be Santa either it is a Jolly Holiday Figure!!

    Yeah that braille pad at the ATM is puzzling – but there must be a reason.

    Here’s a little joke for the readers of the blogg

    T.G.I.F Vrs S.H.I.T.
    A business man got on an elevator. When he entered, there was a blonde
    already inside who greeted him with a bright, “T-G-I-F”.

    He smiled at her and replied, “S-H-I-T”

    She looked puzzled, and repeated, “T-G-I-F,” more slowly.

    He again answered, “S-H-I-T.”

    The blonde was trying to keep it friendly, so, she smiled her biggest
    smile and said as sweetly as possibly, “T-G-I-F.”

    The man smiled back to her and once again, “S-H-I-T.”

    The exasperated blonde finally decided to explain “‘T-G-I-F’ means
    ‘Thank Goodness It’s Friday.’ Get it duuhhh?”

    The man answered, “‘S-H-I-T’ means “Sorry, Honey, It’s Thursday

    Ooops, that’s right – hmm, maybe you can head their fan club then?

    Oh, and btw, you do know I’m a blonde, right? 😉
