Why are boats, cars etc always referred to as 'her' or in general female?

Because they are all so unreliable !

Why aren't airplanes made of the same material as the indestructable black boxes?

 

[Dazz19]

Why does bottled water that has been filtered through volcanic rock for thousands of years have a use by date?

With boats I think it's probably due to the extortionate running and upkeep costs once you get one.

Why do chocolate fingers not have knuckles?

Or for that matter, why are the black boxes orange?

I actually know the answer to this! They were designed by a Dr. Black and so are named after him! They are orange in order to assist locating them where and when necessary!

Why aren't airplanes made of the same material as the indestructable black boxes?

Why do English people insist on using Americanisms? Actually a semi serious point (as well as an opportunity to rib our pet binner) The one that annoys me most is "Have you got a girlfriend?" - "I do"

 

[Rubik's Tube]

I bought that song!

We spend our lives being governed by time and the dreaded alarm clock in the mornings. We set it before every working day to get us up, we watch the hands slowly move on it for 8 hours every day at work, we do our best to hit every deadline demanded by it for about 40 years of our lives! So when we retire why the **** do we get a clock?
