Icon7 Why is that...

...when you're dry, and you get into a tub full of wetness, you immediately become wet, but when you're wet, and you get into a tub full of dryness, you don't immediately become dry?

1. Why is the time of day when the traffic is slowest called the ‘rush hour’?

2. Why isn’t ‘phonetics’ spelt the way it sounds?

3. Why are homes called apartments when they are all stuck together?

4. Why do we drive in parks and park in drives?

5. Why don’t sheep shrink in the rain?

6. Why is the 3rd hand on the watch called the second hand?

7. Why does ‘slow down’ and ‘slow up’ mean the same thing?

8. Why do you press harder on a remote control when you know that the batteries are dead?.

9. Why are credit cards always in debit?


10.Why is anyone going slower than you an idiot, but anyone going faster than you a maniac?
WHY.WHY.WHY.WHY.WHY.WHY.WHY.WHY

Nice to see this place is steadily sliding down the slippery slope with you two guys leading the way (in my absence).

Now, why does a 7-11 shop boast about being open 24 hours, seven days a week, and yet they have locks on the door?
