Why?

Our mouths were filled with laughter...
Psalm 126:2a

After a week of tragedy and pain, some light-hearted thoughts from the question, Why?

  • 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?
  • Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken 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, but  dish washing liquid is 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 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?
May the Lord fill your life today with a bit of love, a bit of joy, and a bit of laughter.
