how do restaurants make half a sandwich?
Why do toasters have a setting that will burn toast beyond what any sane person would eat?
are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes?
how far east can you go before you are heading west?
Why is there a disclaimer on the Allstate Auto Insurance commercials that says "Not available in all states"?
If you are asked to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and your the main witness, what if you say "no"?
Why is it that everyone driving faster than you is considered an idiot and everyone driving slower than you is a moron?
If pro and con are opposites, wouldn't the opposite of progress be congress?
If a kid refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest?
What's the difference between normal ketchup and fancy ketchup?
Why is the Lone Ranger called 'Lone' if he always has his Indian friend Tonto with him?
In the song Yankee Doodle, is he calling the horse or the feather "macaroni"?
Just some things to ponder

1 more this has bugged me since I could remember

Very insightful questions.
I submit the following:

If it was only a three hour tour why did the Howell's bring all their money, and why did Ginger bring all her clothes?

I got this one - neither! Macaroni was slang for a man that dressed in a very fancy manner. So - he stuck the feather in his cap, and was totally full of himself, lol!

I think Zebras are black with white stipes, but I can't remember. I used to know this so it is really making me mad. It was part of the Wild Animat Park tour that I heard a million times. We lived near by when my oldest was little, so went all the time.

I believe if you refuse to tell the truth in cout or answer a question you are held in contempt of court. Haven't reporters gone to jail for that?

I am going to buy both types of katchup next time I go to the store an do a taste test.

Why is it when something travels by boat, it is called cargo, but when it travels by vehicle, it is called a shipment?

Why do we drive in parkways and park in driveways?

:) because the Howell's couldn't part with their money and Ginger couldn't make up her mind what to where ;-)

the highest settings on a toaster are for frozen waffles...
Zebras are indeed black with white stripes!
The East-West question would be determined ONLY if you were in the North or South Pole, I believe.
Allstate is a GREAT stumper...Nice catch Dave!
If you say NO, you are in contempt.
Faster drivers are idiots and slower drivers are morons...that's NOT rocket science
Progress and congress...Sheer genius! I hope you came up with that yourself...cuz I NEVER heard that before!
SKIP!
SKIP!
Lone Ranger was a solo act initially!
The grammar insinuates that the feather is macaroni!
Some lunch meat is round...some is square and some is chopped!
