Did ya ever wonder?
Why are people from the Philippines called Filipino and not Philipino?
If people from Germany, Poland, England, etc are called European and people from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc are called Asians and people from Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leon, etc are called Africans then why aren't people from Mexico and Canada called Americans?

No, but here's a few for thought......
If your legs bent the other way, what would a chair look like?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours? Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America? Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway. Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet soup? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? What disease did cured ham actually have? Why do buffalo wings taste like chicken? Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always clear? Why do they call them "Free Gifts"? Aren't all gifts free? Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale? Where do forest rangers go to "Get away from it all"? Whatever happened to Preparation A through G? If a cow laughed hard, would milk come out of her nose? Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety-one? How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call? Why does a round pizza come in a square box? If we're here to help other people, what are the other people here for? Why is it called "after dark" when it is really "after light"? Is it good if a vacuum really sucks? Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand? Why do we say "Something is out of whack". What is a whack? Why do "Tug" boats "Push their barges? Does the reverse side also have a reverse side? Why do people who know the least know it the loudest? Have you ever seen a toad on a toadstool? How did a fool and his money get together in the first place? Why don't women put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans? If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? Why do they call it the Department of Interior when they are in charge of everything outdoors? Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk? What happens if you get scared half to death twice? There's more, but I'm beat from watching the Rangers.... |
