I haven't seen these before and hope they haven't been posted already.
I thought they were pretty good.

1- Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?

2- Why can't women put on mascara with their mouthes closed?

3- Why don't we ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

4- Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

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

6- Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on "Start"?

7- Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

8- Why is the man who invests all our money called a "broker"?

9- Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called "rush hour"?

10- Why isn't there mouse flavored cat food?

11- When dog food packaging boasts "new and improved tasting," who tests it?

12- Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

13- You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

14- Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

15- Why are they called "apartments" when they are all stuck together?

16- If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

17- If flying is so safe, why do they call airports "terminals"?
