Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Sunlight bleaches hair but our skin absorbs it.

 

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

They can, but having the mouth open aids in keeping the eyes open and not blinking.

 

Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

They claim they can't do anything for personal gain.

 

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

It's not as long as pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

 

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Medicine is a science. Science is an ever-learning train of thought. Given the fact that we still know very little about the world around us, we're constantly learning with every operation. Also, doctors continuously take classes and go to seminars.

 

Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on "Start"?

Because old people are stupid. Plus, it's easier to troubleshoot by saying "Click on Start", rather than saying "Click on that button that opens a menu".

 

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made

with real lemons?

Lemon juice is made with lemons, it's just watered down. Consider it like Orange juice from concentrate. Dish washing liquid uses it for scent and because the acidity helps break up oil and grime.

 

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

This is just being pedantic. Why not ask why the plural of mouse is mice but the plural of house is houses.

 

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Everyone is in a rush to get to their destination. Just because it's called 'rush hour' doesn't necessarily mean it's going to go fast.

 

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Cats hunt many different types of animals. Why not ask why there isn't crow-flavored cat food? Also, I think people would get offended/grossed out by the thought of it. Cats do enjoy other types of meat aside from rodents.

 

When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?

Dogs. Usually they test very, very small quantities of it to ensure there are no allergic reactions.

 

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Because the Bible is fiction.

 

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Because the needles are medical grade and come pre-packaged, sterilized from the factory. Sterilizing the skin and needles helps eliminate any unwanted variables.

 

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't

they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

It's actually bright yellow/orange. The reason it survives is not due to the material used, but its small size compared to the aircraft. By the time the energy of the crash reaches that box, it's spent up most of the kinetic energy on the other parts of the plane. Same concept goes for F1 cars when they hit a wall, their tires go flying to help lessen the shock absorbed by the driver.

 

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Wool shrinks in extreme heat, not wetness.

 

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

Because they are compartmentalized buildings. Just because the word 'apart' is in it, doesn't mean it adds to the definition.

 

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

No? That's just silly.

 

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

They call an airport an airport. They call each boarding spot/gate a terminal, because that's the end of your destination through the airport and someone's destination from the aircraft.

Enjoy.

 

Sorry to be Captain Buzzkill.
