The Great Imponderables...

May 14, 2010 5:54pm CST
I often wonder what the great imponderables are ? Currently, I'm reading "does anything eaat wasps and 101 other questions - we will come back to them another time. Thanks to Chris Frankland and my fiends at Alder House for these great imponderables : Why is a man who invests all your money called a broker ?........ Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites ?..... If People from Poland are called Poles why aren't People from Holland call Holes ?..... Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites ?..... Why is something you send by Road called a SHIPpment and by sea CAZRgo ?..... No-one says "it's only a game" when their team is winning .... Ever wonder about People who spend £2 on a bottle of Water ? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE

I ponder those same things. Also I wonder why there are locks on 24 hour stores? Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds? and of course my favorite, If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen?
