Random musings

Why does flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? Do we really need all the routine maintenance our cars' manufacturers recommend & why do I keep getting pre-recorded second-notice-reminder calls about my car's warranty when it's long past? Who decided cuss words are cuss words and why are some acceptable and some not? What will supplant blogs in our computer world? When can I retire again? Why do some cats purr while others don't? Blonds have more fun than who? Why is a pregnant goldfish called a twit? Why is nutmeg extremely poisonous if injected intravenously. Does everyone over 55 get by on 6 1/2 hrs sleep? Why am I allergic to penicillin? Is pasta-on-a-stick feasible for fast-food? Where's that money Obama promised me? Who will win Carol's 300th post drawing? (Is this a good last question?)

Wow, I can't answer any of these. So I guess I'll just throw a question of my own out there. Can fat people go skinny dipping?

Carol Swift said...

Good one Shayla! Enough with the pasta on a stick idea! :o)

I think I will win the contest. I didn't know you were allergic to penicillin. What happens when you get sick and need an antibiotic?

Mark always asks me when I say "They say...." "Who's they..." this just reminded me of that....interesting comments...

Actually, the words skinny dipping are derived from a Latin phrase, skineous aquaticic, which means swim in your skin only, nothing to do with how skinny one is...
Who needs penicillin with other wonder drugs? I just can't enjoy blue cheese salad dressing. ;-)
