Just a few things running thru my head, Feel free to add on ..lol

""If Baseball is a ""timeless"" game, Why do managers/coaches wear a wrist watch ?"
"" If MLB has a ""big papi"".... does the WNBA have a ""big mommy"" ?
"" If a woman wears pants (slacks) its called"' Fashion" , but If a man
wears a skirt its called ""crossdressing"" ?
"" If everyone drives a ""electric car"".. would that give a new meaning
to the Traffic Reporters Rush Hour report of ...""Gridlock"" on Route 95""?
"" If Football is a ""team game"" why do the Cleveland Browns uniforms have PLAYERS Names on them, and the TEAM Helmet's are blank ""?
""Why can a WC soccer player take his shirt off after a goal, and the
NFL fines players for their shirt tails out ""?
"" If a Post office worker goes POSTAL , would a Psychiatry Ward
worker go N U T S ?
"" Why does NASCAR have thousands of Axle-Rods, but MLB only has
one A-ROD "" ?
"" With all the HD Special Effects movies/tv's .. why do I still watch
& laugh @ (Black & white) Moe, Larry, and Curly ""?
"" With all the cameras and security in a bank..why do they STILL
chain the pens to the counter ""?
"" This years Triple Crown had Three Different Horses win but the same Number ( 8) win all three.. I wonder what that Pick 3 would pay ? Or

Why do they call it a "scratch" when a horse is out of a race?
What are they scratching?

And, how come there are four balls and only three strikes in baseball? It should be one of each.
And, what's with a "walk" when they jog to first base? They should call it a jog.

I won't even get going with football, but I'd like to know why they spend so much time touching helmets in the huddle. Is it a "guy" thing?

Why is it that football and basketball have referees and baseball has umpires.

Why can a pitcher throw at a batter and get a warning, and throwing a basketball(technical foul) or a football(15yd penalty) at another player will get you in more trouble, aren't they softer than a baseball?

Why is it called a "driveway" even though you park your car on it and a "parkway" even though you drive your car on it?

And I don't think men who wear skirts are called crossdressers, I believe they're called Scots.

Oh, sure, that's what they SAY... "It's not a skirt! It's a kilt! It's not a purse; it's European!"

Hee hee hee. Oh, no yelling. I'm part Scottish myself.

That's too easy...
They'd have to change all the packaging to read "Preparation A" instead of "Preparation H".

Now I'd like to know why the Bayer company calls those pills a$$perine if they are intended to get rid of a head ache.
Ahh..life's little mysteries.
