Questions that will remain unanswered.

Is there another word for synonym?

Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do practice?"

If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane
crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of that stuff?

Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will
clean them?

If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain
silent?

Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?

How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign?

If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too?

Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

Doubt it.

Not really, as lawyers say that too. Oh wait....

It would be too heavy to fly.
Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will

No one knows what REALLY happens there....
If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain
silent?
Yes, because they might not know if he is mute or not. He could later tell the guys in court that he wasn't allowed all his rights.
Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?
So that blind people being driven could withdraw money in private, from a back seat.
How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign?
They don't. Its because deer cross there that they put the sign there.
If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too?
They aren't STUPID.
Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?
You want moldy cream?
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
That could be interpreted as: If you try to fail, and succeed in failing, that means you succeeded in your task.

If you're scared half to death a second time, then you're scared half of the half you have left from the first time. :P 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4. ;)

And I think I've seen those questions before, a long time ago...but it still made me chuckle. :)

Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?


It cause they are all made at the same time. The ones in the bank, in the groecy store and the one they place outside for driveup are all made at the same time.
