Whys?

I was thinking of ‘whys’ this weekend and I thought I would share a few with you.  Maybe you have the answers that I haven’t figured out yet.  For instance.

Why is there 30 checkout stations at Wal-mart and only 3 are opened at a time? Making me stand in line longer than it took me to shop.  I hate waiting in lines. I hated it in the ‘Hurry up and wait’ Air Force and I still hate it today.

Why does a replacement key for my Pickup cost more than a tank of gas?  I don’t understand, it’s a little piece of steel with a plastic coating made in China.

Why can I join AARP when I turn 50 but I can’t get the senior rates until I am 65? I got into a large discussion at a motel once showing my AARP but was refused the senior nightly rate.

Why did we all have to have wall-to-wall carpet and now our wives all want wood floors?  I told mine there was wood under the carpet but was quickly told it wasn’t ‘Hard Wood’.  What?  All wood is hard.

Why do I have to show a loyalty card at the grocery store to get the sale price?  Wouldn’t it be cheaper for the store to just give me the sales price instead of printing all those little plastic cards?

Why does the person standing behind me in line at the grocery store keep hitting me in the butt with their shopping cart?  If they can’t hear the conversation between the cashier, and me get in front of me and wait.

Why is it cheaper to go to the movies in the afternoon? Doesn’t it cost the same to run the theater in the day as it does after dark? Movies are still shown in the dark day or night.

Why are pants sold in pairs but you only get one?

Why is there a tax deduction for donating used underwear to Goodwill?  Ah, who would buy used underwear?

Why does the first half of a tank of gas last longer than the last half?

Why do kids have all the energy?  I could do a lot more if I could stay awake.

Why do restaurants want to serve the seniors at 4pm?

Why do I really want the car I had in 1968 when I was perfectly happy trashing it in 1968?

Why do we want our children to believe the turtle really beat a rabbit in a race?

Why does water soak up, but run downhill?

Why do dogs hate cats?

Why are male dogs called a ‘Sire’ and female called…whoops never mind figured that one out on my own.
