Have You Ever Wondered...

Some light fare for today from an e-mail making the rounds.

Have you ever wondered...

  • why we order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke?
  • why we're forced to buy hot dogs in packages of ten and the buns in packages of eight?
  • why we have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering?
  • why we never see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
  • why abbreviated is such a long word?
  • why lemon juice is made using artificial flavor while dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?
  • why there is no 'mouse-flavored' cat food?
  • why the needle is sterilized before a lethal injection?
  • why banks leave the doors wide open and then chain the pens to the counters?
  • why we park our valuable cars outside and keep the junk in the garage?
  • why women seem unable to apply mascara with their mouths closed?
  • why the time of day with the slowest traffic is called 'rush hour'?
