AQUaDeX Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Burning Questions: Why do the instructions on bottles of deodorant say "Rub onto underarms"? Where else are you going to put it? In your hair? What happened to the first 6 up's? Why do we only see 7 up? Has anyone else noticed that when a new paper towel ad appears, the older paper towel is suddenly less absorbent than when it was new? How come washing powders were 'Whiter than white' 30 years ago, and have been improving ever since? Just how is it possible to get clothes Whiter Than White? Nissan says their cars are Built For The Human Race. Just who else would they build them for? With all the high-tech analysis being done these days, how can things like Coca-Cola's secret formula really stay secret? Where are preparations A to G? Why are there so many ads for the Yellow Pages in the Yellow Pages? Why did they call it Coca-Cola when it contains neither coca nor cola? Why do they advertise Cordless Screwdrivers? Have you ever seen a screwdriver with a cord? Why do they say "New and Improved"? How can it be new if it was improved? Why is it that international magazines that advertise products will have the same description of something in different languages, but the description of each language is written in english? Who's that supposed to benefit? Is it possible to get insurance on insurance? Why do Real Estate companies advertise Classic New Homes? If its a Classic then surely it must be old? Why do Antique Shops have signs in their windows reading "New Items Arriving Daily"? Is Disney World a people trap operated by a mouse? In New Mexico a long-established dry cleaner business is displaying a sign that reads 38 years on the same spot. If you dropped off some clothes to get dry cleaned, just when would you expect to get them back? If you worked at a fire hydrant plant, where would you park? What do they call coffee breaks at a tea factory? :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessterw Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Why do the instructions on bottles of deodorant say "Rub onto underarms"? Where else are you going to put it? In your hair? Actually you can put deodorant anywhere you have pores that may produce perspiration. The fact that the directions are present is due to goverment regulations. With all the high-tech analysis being done these days, how can things like Coca-Cola's secret formula really stay secret? It has to do with the process and ingredient amounts used to create what we know as Coca-Cola. Of course the secret formula has changed over time (some of you might know what the original was) and many other cola companies have produced fairly similiar tasting drinks. Where are preparations A to G? If you know what the "H" stands for then you'd never need to ask this question. Why did they call it Coca-Cola when it contains neither coca nor cola? Because it once did. Why do they advertise Cordless Screwdrivers? Have you ever seen a screwdriver with a cord? Electric. Why do Real Estate companies advertise Classic New Homes? If its a Classic then surely it must be old? Just means that the home was built using design styles that were present in previous times. Why do Antique Shops have signs in their windows reading "New Items Arriving Daily"? Erm, because they receive new (as in new to that shop) antiques daily? If you worked at a fire hydrant plant, where would you park? In the parking lot. What do they call coffee breaks at a tea factory? A coffee break.

+John Teacake MVC Posted June 30, 2003 MVC Share Posted June 30, 2003 Why do they call them apartments when they're so close together? they are still technically apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessterw Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Maybe because it's not "apart-ments" but rather "a-part-ments", meaning part of a whole? Though it actually is French and Italian in origina and partly means "to set apart". Thus you have a building with areas that are "set apart"/separate. So it is "apart" and not "a part", but "apart" it that they are divisions of a whole that are separate from each other. Remember these types of jokes ARE NOT funny unless there is not reasonable explaination or the explaination makes no sense itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
