Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered>>>>>assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.
Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane ?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

I'm too analytical to allow some of these to be mere ponderings...
Why is it that we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?
Parkways got their name because of their surroundings (trees, etc.), which were reminscent of parks. Dunno about driveways.
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
The hinge on a round box would be small and awkward. A square box ensures that the top won't be ripped off unless done purposely.
If a 7-11 is open 24 hours, why is there a lock on the doors?
7-11 got their name because they were originally open from 7 AM to 11 PM. That's when the locks were useful. Nowadays, if an employee is working alone and needs to step out, they don't want someone to come in and steal anything. Likewise, some emergency situations require 7-11s to close down temporarily. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a little extra security.
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Little-known fact, but scientists were working on this and then boom comes Sputnik. So there's a space race and wheel luggage gets put on hold. Had Russia waited a year or two, it would have happened the other way around.
If Bugs Bunny is naked, why does he wrap a towel around himself after getting out of the shower?
No guy wants to walk around all day with a wet carrot.
Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
Bras were originally invented by the CIA to be used--believe it or not--as http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/4595/blackbario2.jpg! Their plan didn't work, and http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/4595/blackbario2.jpg. Panties were designed for the same reason, but again, despite their best attempts, they were unable to kill President http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/4595/blackbario2.jpg.

More Carlinisms:
Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?
Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?
If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?
How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign?
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
How is it possible to have a civil war?

I love the skit George Carlin did about Catholics/Holy days of Obligation ... "if you're out on a boat and cross the international date line..."

If a 7-11 is open 24 hours, why is there a lock on the doors?Depends on your frame of reference.
If Bugs Bunny is naked, why does he wrap a towel around himself after getting out of the shower?Because maybe he's more naked in the shower.
Why doesn't Wile E Coyote use the money he buys those ACME products to buy food?Heh. I don't know, maybe he's broke.
Can you cry under water? I sure can't but i haven't tried it in awhile.
Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? Not to the taxman, maybe it's just a state of mind kind of thing.

Cause money can't buy them love.
The pit bull - why it is neither.
The toadstool - why it is neither a toad nor a stool. Discuss.
And why does a bald eagle get recognized for baldness and not a buzzard, who really is bald?
Is there a difference between vultures and buzzards?

Invaluable is a bizarre word. Valuable means to place great importance on something; invaluable is used to mean necessary and appreciated. If so, then why the negating prefix "in"?
Ungrateful means to be unappreciative. One who is unappreciative is called an ingrate. Why a different prefix?

why is abbreviated such a long word
why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring and dishwashing detergent made with real lemons
why is the man who invests all your money called a broker
why is the slowest traffic time of day called rush hour
why are they called apartments when they're all stuck together
you know that indestructible black box on airplanes? why don't they make the entire airpalne oput of that stuff!
