I’m Just Asking
I have questions, maybe you have the answer(s). If you can help me out with them, list the number question you are answering in your comment. If not, just laugh along with me. Thanks!
1. Why does it take 6 to 8 weeks to get the first copy of a magazine subscription? What are they doing weeks 1-5?
2. Is withholding information the same thing as lying? You have knowledge of something contrary to what someone believes to be true. Lying without saying a word?
3. How come when you’re driving on the street where your car belongs and you hit someone IN the street, they give YOU the breathalyzer? I’m just asking.
4. How come the plastic packaging on kid toys is adult proof? It’s like they really don’t want the kid to have the toy. Have you ever tried to open that hard plastic they ship them in? Then once you get it open they tie the little toy down to the cardboard box with a twist tie and tape just to mess with you more.
5. Why is it that we call out from work when we are not really sick, but will go to work when we are sick as a dog. Coughing on everything and everybody?
6. Why do kids want water at 3:00 in the morning? They go all day without water and just when your sleep is getting good, you hear the faint cry: “Mommy”, “Daddy”, I want some water.
7. How come people ask this question like the answer is just out there somewhere: Which came first the chicken or the egg? The chicken came first. If you believe there is a God, he created the animals first, then they reproduced. If you don’t believe there is a God, then you go on with not knowing the answer to this question.
and my last question, for now……
8. Why do crossing guards hold up traffic to allow grown, walking, adults across the street? One lady thought she was on the cat walk. I said if she pivots, I just can’t be responsible if I press on the gas. They are walking, let them wait!
Have a Happy Friday!

4. It’s the toy manufacturers meaning of a joke. They believe that adults need to buy toys that challenge themselves as well as their kids. So they design these puzzle of impossible to open plastic containers. They tie down every single piece of the toy in a pattern so that it can only be opened in one sequence. It’s just to make it all fun for the adult.
OR
It’s really all a ploy to make sure that you don’t return the product for any reason whatsoever. I mean, people think if they can put the packaging back together, they can bring the item back to the store. If you need to rip everything open and totally destroy the original packaging in the process, how can you take it back? See the ploy?
Well it’s quite frustrating. How come the toys today just can’t come in a cracker jack type box. Put everything loosely in a box with some peanuts and when we get to the bottom, we get the toy. I’m so frustrated in the end, it’s almost not worth trying to open it.

Laughing out loud Robert. Good responses, especially on the first answer. I’m still waiting on magazines I ordered months ago. What the?
#4 is a pet peeve of mine! ARG! Also - how come they package cosmetics is such a way that you end up breaking your nails trying to open them?!?!?
I don’t know Olga, probably so that you can also buy their nail repair products too?
Question 1.
I would suspect they are stuffing all those little annoying subscription cards into the magazines they just received new subscriptions for…
