    Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

    Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?

    Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

    Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?

    Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

    Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

    Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a gun at him?

    Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

    Whose idea was it to put the letter "S" in the word "lisp"?

    What is the speed of darkness?

    If you send someone 'Styrofoam', how do you pack it?

    If the temperature is zero outside today and its going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

    If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

    If it is true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing here?

    Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?

    If someone with a split personality threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation?

    Can you cry underwater?

    If money doesn't grow on trees, why do banks have branches?

    What level of importance must a person have, before they consider assassinated instead of just murdered?

    Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

    How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on bigger suitcases?

    Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up, like, every two hours?

    If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

    Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

    Why do doctors, when they ask you to strip, leave the room or close the cubicle curtain while you change? - They're still going to see you naked anyway

    Yes, I suspect that's the case.

    By coincidence I was reading a book the other day called "The History of Glue". I couldn't put it down.

    Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Cos it works sometimes
    Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough? Never happened
    Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Nobody's ever believed me when I've said that
    Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle? Glue will only stick to certain materials. The bottle is obviously not made of one of them
    Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection? Cos it's more humane and what if the executioner caught aids
    Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Cos he shaves
    Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a gun at him? It's just a natural reaction. Someone could lonch a bit of polystyrene at you from point blank range and your reaction would be to duck
    Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Cos they're already wearing them. Kamikaze pilots don't set out purely to kamikaze, they are regular fighter pilots who need head protection before that
    Whose idea was it to put the letter "S" in the word "lisp"? God.
    What is the speed of darkness? 125ms-1
    If you send someone 'Styrofoam', how do you pack it? in a box or something
    If the temperature is zero outside today and its going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be? ~-27
    If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes? Man didn't evolve from modern apes, but share the same ancestor
    If it is true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing here? Helping others. And they're helping others and so on til it comes full circle
    Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? Nonsense question
    If someone with a split personality threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation? No
    Can you cry underwater? Yes but the tears would be washed away
    If money doesn't grow on trees, why do banks have branches? Daft.
    What level of importance must a person have, before they consider assassinated instead of just murdered? If they're important enough to be shot publically at a rally or event, and it's a planned murder and it's for a reason
    Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Easier to produce square boxes than round ones
    How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on bigger suitcases? Who knows
    Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up, like, every two hours? Not all babies
    If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Yes
    Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? They pay for the stunning views, not necessarily at the ground
    Why do doctors, when they ask you to strip, leave the room or close the cubicle curtain while you change? - They're still going to see you naked anyway It's for your own comfort, it would be awkward stripping when they watch

    That's what a neanderthal jungle dude would use.

    A proper gentleman uses a double edged safety razor and shaving cream/soap.

    Gives me an idea for a thread.

    Nope, Kamikaze planes were stripped of all gear (Including weapons) and loaded up with explosives. No need for a helmet.

    Did you hear about the Irish Kamikaze?

    he had 22 successful missions.

    Well what if they hit some turbulence, got jolted about, hit their heads, get knocked out then fly into their comrades?

    All for the sake of a ****ing helmet??
