A long time ago, I posted some “imponderables”… things that are defined as “difficult or impossible to evaluate with precision”. While the original list was pretty extensive, I have run across some more that are just as perplexing and funny (again, these were not written by me)…

• Can you cry under water?
• How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
• Why do you have to “put your two cents worth in”.. but it’s only a “penny for your thoughts”? Where’s that extra penny going to?
• Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
• What disease did cured ham actually have?
• How is it that we put a man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
• Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up like every two hours?
• If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
• If you take a double-blind survey at a school for the vision impaired, what is it called?
• Why are some actors “IN” a movie, but others are “ON” TV?
• Why do people pay money to go up in tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look down at things on the ground?
• Why is “bra” singular and “panties” plural?
• Why do they call it an asteroid when it’s outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it’s, um, you know…?
• Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
