Why is that they nail the lids down on coffins, do they know something we don't?

Why do they call it easy listening music, when it's so hard to listen to?

They nail the lids down because pritstik just doesn't cut it. No, I reckon it's a hidden conspiracy for the nail making trade. And how do you know that they don't use screws? Eh? Eh?

Ummm. Easy listening music... good point...

More interestingly... why do skydivers wear helmets?

Thats a pretty interesting hypothesis, but more importantly, why do they bother wearing parachutes, I mean, are they really really necessary, seems alot of baggage to me <snigger>

Depends on the Pizza company. Dominoes can sometimes take so long that an entire Swat team could set up camp by the time they bring you your extra chilli pizza.

Hmm. Rate your local pizza franchise by comparing to various police actions. In that case one of our chinese deliveries is a bit like Iraq.

Thats nothing. One new years eve, back around 1990, we were getting totally hammered in a local pub back in Wales. This old guy (about 70 or 80) started to talk to me in Welsh. I knew a bit at the time, so I started to translate to my english mate. Essentially it went like "So, whats your name then boyo?", "What are you drinking then chap?", "You two boys having fun?", "Are you in here often?"... anyhows, a couple of sentences later and we were all making hastly for the next pub in much need of another beer.

Heh, or someone asks you what you would do to get into a nightclub for free. And they are the same sex. And you realise that everyone through the window in the club are men. And your lot are made up of long haired males. And the women have nipped to the toilets. Erm.. erm.....

Dunno. Gadget freakiness rid me of VHS many years ago.

But... why do a lot of DVDs put their pause bit (when it changs layers) right in the middle of a scene, rather than a fadey out bit?

Why is it that some people can't read some thing on a computer screen?

For example:
*My phone rings*
Me: "Hello?"
Mum: "Hi Sam, I think I broke my PC!"
Me: "Why whats wrong with it?"
Mum: "It keeps bringing up error messages"
Me: "What did you do?"
Mum: "I was just trying to exit the Letter writing thing"
Me: "Is the screen blue?"
Mum: "Nope its got flowers in the background"
Me: "Is that your wallpaper?"
Mum: "No its pink to match the wardrobe"
Me: "Never mind. What does the error say, and what options does it give you?"
Mum: "Do you want to save the changes to document before exiting, yes, no, cancel"
Me: *Sighs* "Well DO YOU want to save the document before you exit?"
Mum: "No I was just praticing"
Me: "Then click 'No'"
Mum: "Ok, its working now. Thanks! Now how do I turn it off?"
Me: "Start, then Shutdown"
Mum: "Do I want to turn the computer off, reset, or MS-DOS mode?"
Me: *Head thumping against the wall*
Mum: *listens to telephone line tone*

Kangeroo2, you live in our house???? , I get conversations just like that , I regret I ever made my (aged) parents a PC out of spare bits and bobs, I think it`s just past a certain age that people don`t get their heads round the idea that machines talk back to them, like your mum thinks its a fancy typewriter and typewriters never ask you if you want the letter filing away do they???, so it can`t have asked...right????, maybe they think they are losing the plot cos they could swear that machine just asked them something ,I dunno...weird I calls it

lol,
sounds as bad as my dad who lifted the mouse in the air and waved it about saying how does this work.

but strangely I had a weird debate with my mum, she thinks the plural of the computer mouse is mouses, where I said its mice.
Whos right?

I mean a computer mouse is a lot different than a mouse so ...
I'm confused again!
