Why

[Patrick]

 
Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to
get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front? 



Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke? 



Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters?



Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways and put our
useless junk in the garage?




EVER WONDER...

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?




Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? 



Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'? 


Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?



Why is it that doctors and attorneys call what they do 'practice'? 



Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, and dish washing liquid made
with real lemons?




Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? 



Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? 

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?



Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? 



Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?




You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they
make the whole plane out of that stuff?? 



Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? 



Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? 



If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? 



Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and
send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)... in
other words, send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while.


OH you didn't smile - well how about this one:




Have a happy day.

Why do we drive on a parkway and Park on a driveway

Why do we drive on a parkway and Park on a driveway

Why you Drive on a Parkway This idea dates back before the time of the interstate system to the time of the great depression. In 1931, there was a WPA (Works Project Administration) project called Skyline Drive in the National Park Service's Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. This was a 105 mile road through the national park which provided a panoramic view of the park. Completed in 1939, it was thought that all long stretches of roads would run though parks to the point where long roads were deemed "parkways".  Driveway and Parkway From what I understand, 'way' means 'road'. So a driveway is a road that you drive on, typically either to the street or your garage. A parkway is a road through or to a park. Usually parkways are landscaped, or beautified, with medians or trees along the edges. Park comes from an old word (parc I think) meaning something enclosed. Generally fancy landscaped areas in the old days were enclosed to keep the riff-raff out, and started being called parks....the name stuck. The military enclosed the places they stored their vehicles (wagons and such, up to modern stuff) and called them 'parks' as well. They began referring to storing their vehicles as 'parking' them. The term started applying to any vehicle sometime around just after the war of 1812 and gained popularity into WW2, and stuck. It just lost the meaning of 'enclosed'. When so many military veterans continued using the phrase when they became civilians, it became standard.  Driveways and Parkways This question is not as random as you think. Driveways were initially much longer, leading from the road back to the main house on the property. So initially people really did drive on them. The word parkway was used to describe a well developed thoroughfare, complete with trees, grassy divided medians and other landscaping, thus the "park" in the name. Here are more opinions and answers from other WikiAnswers Contributors: I think this is a linguistic quirk incorporated into contemporary English as a direct result of an old George Carlin skit. But, I could be wrong.Partly because English is one of the most free-for-all languages in the world, with fewer rules and more borrowed words than just about any other tongue.

It's a little deductive logic within the fable.

Fable?  I think not....anyway, our pee brain size thinker cannot begin to reason through the mind and acts of God.  But give this a try.

What would have Adam seen inside a tree had God given him a saw to cut a tree down?  Rings or No Rings?
