Points to Ponder

**imported_elp6n** · March 16th, 2005, 12:19 PM

1. Does a clean house indicate that there is a broken computer in it?
2. Why is it that no matter what color of the bubble bath you use, the bubbles are always white?
3. Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
4. Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum cleaner one more chance?
5. Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end you try first?
6. How do those dead bugs get into those closed light fixtures?
7. Is it true that the only difference between a yard sale and a trash pickup is how close to the road the stuff is placed?
8. In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
9. How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
10. If at first you don't succeed, shouldn't you try doing it like your wife told you to do it?

Well, if its like at my house, some people try dress like its summer in the middle of winter. Its cold outside. Put on some shoes with socks, a long sleeve shirt/top and some long pants. Not cut-offs & a tank-top and then complain about how cold it is. Well, DUH!!!!

True. But, my point is if you are cold natured then why not put some clothes on instead of just cranking the thermostat wide open. I have no problem in trying to be comfortable, but people should try to use some common sense once in a while.
