Hopefully this can be a sticky someday:eek:...

I encourage others to post as well, but I shall get the ball going here.


If a man stands alone in the forest, without any woman around to hear when the man speaks, is he still wrong?

    Check and see if Mother Nature is in your wife's book club...If so, the answer is definitely yes.

    Why do they put "on" and "off" on light switches? If the light is on, you can see that it's on. If the light is off, it would be too dark to read the switch.

    also,

    What would chairs look like if our knees bent the other way?

    First off, they are darksuckers, not light bulbs. Secondly, this is in case the darksucker is in need of replacement.

    You don't want to know; it would be hideous. However, I do wonder what kind of chair the Flying Spaghetti Monster uses.

    I'm sure I should be remembering this stuff better than I am, but don't trees in the forest have what could be construed as both male and female reproductive organs?

    The emotional female parts would take over, and the man would be crushed dead by large falling branches.
