Ever wonder why ....

- drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front?

- do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke?

- do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'?

- do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering?

- the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

- don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

- is "abbreviated" such a long word?

- is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

- isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

- didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

- do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

- are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

- if con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
