Ponderables


If you take a person from the Far East and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?
If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
Why do we say something is out of whack? What's a whack?
Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?
When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts", and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a Broker?
Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread to begin with.
When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say?
Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race car not called a racist?


Have a Great day! LIVE LAUGH LOVE and may it be filled with JOY!

1. Yes! He can no make his camara go "Crick!"

2. Because if they had holes, the dike will leak.

3.A whack is something that, taken in the wider context of the world, would make no sense, but by itself has a sense of it's own. Thus, something out of whack makes no sense at all (much like this answer.)

4.The difference is humility. And a better sense of humour.

5. In this administration, the other penny has been taxed.

6. Because, the more money you give him, the broker you get.

7. But it's CRUNCHY stale bread!

8. "Preservatives and Emulsifiers!"

9. Because "race" in "race car" is an adjective. He should be, not a racist, but a carist.
Thanks for the chance to be a wise man..er, guy.
