Have you ever wondered?

 

Have you ever wondered at the many things around us in life which we take for granted without questioning why? Why are things done this way? Why not change them and make them better?

For example, why are socks sold in pairs? Why not sell them in packs of three? By doing so we would stand a better chance of picking up two socks the same colour from the drawer in the dark. Think of the maths. A drawer full of socks; you have a fifty/fifty chance (50%) of choosing two the same colour. But if they were sold in threes your odds would improve. Also, the manufacturers would sell 50% more socks.

And another thing. When they say dog food is now in an improved tastier recipe; who does the tasting? Humans or dogs? 

Why is toothpaste always sold in mint flavour? How about garlic flavour toothpaste? Or ketchup flavour?

And why there's always a few drops of ketchup which stick stubbornly at the end of the bottle? No matter how much I hit the bottle the last of the ketchup will not come out. Why is that? 

Have you noticed that washing up powders which you put in washing machines for your clothes always smell nice like spring-time, or flowery meadows, or mountain air, and other pleasing aromas reminiscent of pleasant freshness. Why not have washing powder that smells of the seaside? Dead fish and rotting sea weeds?

If there are so many stars out in space, how come it is always dark at night? 

If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to see it, does it remain upright?

Have you wondered what would happen if you put a bicycle in the fridge? I'll tell you; you can't shut the door.

How do you know that when you shut the fridge door the little light has gone out? What if it stays on all the time and you know nothing about it? All that wasted electricity used for nothing and contributing to global warming.

I believe that global warming and increases in temperatures are the result of candles. We light candles everywhere. In restaurants, in churches, at romantic dinners, on birthday cakes, and even in the bathrooms when we have a hot bath. Scented candles everywhere with various aromas like lavender, vanilla, lilac, sweet pea, lemon, lasagna, pizza, escargots, engine oil, trash centre recycling unit and so on. All these candles create extra heat and then we wonder why there's global warming and we blame the cows for creating so much methane when they break wind.

Why not redirect all that breaking wind towards wind turbines and make them go round faster? Has anyone ever thought of that as a solution? Cows are in fields, wind turbines are in fields - combine the two and you have an instant solution. Why do I have to point the obvious to so-called clever scientists?

What would happen do you think if scientists crossed a cow with a shark? Chances are they would not be able to milk it; but it would certainly not produce any methane. 

Did you know when a whale breaks wind it is so forceful that it propels it forwards 20 miles?

And did you know that one benefit of growing older is that your secrets are safe with your friends; because they can't remember them. 

The other day I was at the pub and an elderly woman came and sat beside me. She looked at me smiling and asked me whether she comes to this pub often.

And on that note, I'd better stop because I can't truly remember at which pub I was and whether it is prudent to meet her again.
