And why does my nose run and my feet smell?

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

And why do 24 hour stores have locks on the doors ?

Are zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes ?

If God hadn't invented whiskey, would the Irish have taken over the world ?

Why does a guy say 'I'll never understand women " and yet he gets married anyway?

I dont think AlbertaDiver will succeed but maybe if you give the task to your wonderful wife she might have more luck in finding Brownbear416 a mate.

Heck he could marry your daughter, then he could be your son in law..

Question #3 has a technical answer:

SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_size_(grain_size)

Anything greater than 256mm (~10") in diameter is considered a boulder.

If the Teflon they put in a fry pan is to stop stuff from sticking how does it stay on the fry pan?

Who tests dog food flavours? Beef and Chicken? Lamb and Rice?

Why do we say "after dark" when really it is "after light"?

Since light travels faster than sound, is that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?

When people say "I slept like a baby last night" do they mean they pooped their diapers, cried all night and kept their parents awake?

Do alcoholic elephants drink to forget?

If someone steals a cow in May he's a damn cattle rustler,
If someone knocks a mailbox down in Feburary he's a damn vandal,
If someone speeds by me on a gravel road in June he's a damn jerk,
If someone walks on my land in April he's a damn trespasser,
BUT
If any of this happens between September and November he is automatically a DAMNED HUNTER???

Regards,
Dave

When will kids turn off all the lights without being told?
When will guys put the toilet seat back down without us women having to remind them?

Why are all the good men either married or gay?

Why does sour cream have a best before date if it's already sour?

How do the "Thin Ice" get put out on the lake?

How do they put the caramel in a caramilk bar?

If a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody around to hear it, is a man still wrong?

If a woman can put a toilet seat down why can't she put it back up?

How many pancakes does it take to roof a dog house?

How much does a mountain weigh?

I clean the bathrooms at least half the time, and I pay for this joint, the seat stays in whatever position I feel like.

I pay and clean so the seat stays down in my house.

East I am sure if we asked YD how much you actually clean she might dispute your claim!

If you send something by car, its called "shipping"
If you send it by ship, its called "cargo"

Cannibals dont eat clowns because they taste funny

Pair of scissors? Pair of pants? Pair of mittens?

While I was walking the dog this morning, I was pondering the sound of the hoof beats on the road behind me... I turned around and saw a 3x3 mule deer buck trotting up the road behind me. He didn't see me until he was about 50m away. I'm sure the neighbors (not to mention CPS) would be seriously ****ed if I started walking the dog with a rifle over my shoulder

Man who run in front of car, sure to get tired.

Man who run behind car, sure to get exhausted.
