Imponderables!
I love these "Imponderables" - questions with no definite answer.
If a deaf boy swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
Is it possible to choke to death on a Lifesaver?
Why does Yoda do front flips and back flips to fight Count Dooku and then pick up his cane the moment after the fight?
Why do those crazy Americans drive on the right side of the road?
Does anybody have any other classics? I'd love to add them to my collection. |

Re: Imponderables!

No, the deaf boy will do it anyway when he showers.
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
Unsliced bread.
Is it possible to choke to death on a Lifesaver?
Yes, if you're a baby.
Why does Yoda do front flips and back flips to fight Count Dooku and then pick up his cane the moment after the fight?
Because Yoda was a gymnast before he was a jedi master. A really gaudy and flashy gymnast.
Why do those crazy Americans drive on the right side of the road?
Coz we're crazy. :)

Re: Imponderables!
Popstar Dave - I heard a sermon once about Gilligan's Island. Did you notice that each of the castaways practices at least one of the seven deadly sins?
The Skipper: Anger and Gluttony
Ginger: Lust
Mr. Howl: Greed
Mrs. Howl: Sloth
Mary Ann: Jealousy
The Professor: Pride
But what about Gilligan? He's the devil! Think about it; he always dresses in red, he brings out the worst of those sins in everybody, and whenever they're all about to be saved . . . he screws it up, keeping them on the island!
Anyhoo . . .
