Why oh Why?

1. Why does the sun lighten our hair but darken our skin?
2. Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
3. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
4. Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
5. Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
6. Why is a boxing ring square?
7. Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?
8. Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
9. Why is it that rain drops but snow falls?
10. Why is it that to stop Windows, you have to click on "Start"?

8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

11. Only in America......can a homeless combat veteran live in a cardboard box and a draft dodger live in the White House.
