Only if it hurts.

Why is it called your 'funny' bone if it hurts when you hit it?

Because there is nothing more hilarious than seeing someone ELSE get hurt.

Why do people laugh at the misery of others?

Because someone laughed at their pain.

Who was the first to start this vicious cycle?

Adam, who laughed at the first PMS suffered by Eve, who then invented the frying pan to beat him with.

Is there any hope at all of a snowday for me this week?

That they don't come often enough?


Why don't more snowdays come? At least two a week?

Because then they couldn't be weekdays anymore.

I'm sorry to return to the zombies again, but -

Well, if he is holding a half-consumed brain in his hands at the time, it is probably "squelch, spurch, squish."

Why the fixation with Zombies? You aren't experimenting with your chemistry set again, are you? Don't you remember what happened the LAST time?

"Of course I remember - but this time will be different... *KNOCK* *KNOCK* Er...yes?"

"Herr Frankenstein? It is Igor - I have brought the..."

"Coming!"



Which came first - the zombie or the brain?

It had to be the brain because zombies had to come from "turned" humans, and a "turned" human will have had a brain.


Why don't zombies like deviled eggs instead of brain? I likes me a nice deviled egg, I does.

Because the zombies wouldn't be scary if they didn't eat brains.


How would boys get to first base if the zombies in the movies weren't scary?

You gotta start somewhere, it's not like you can go straight to third base.

You would know if you were familiar with cricket.

Why did they name it cricket anyway?

Because you're to smart to think of stupid questions.

Because your brain automatically associates lights of any kind with a holiday.

It's only fun if you have someone to spend it with, ie not you or me.

Why do those with someone to spend Valentines with like to rub it in others' faces?

because they had it rubbed in their faces when they didn't have anyone so they feel honored to do it themselves.

why are they playing sad love songs on the radio when its supposed to be "Happy" valentines day?

Because everyone associates sad love songs with unrequited love which is technically still love, even if it isn't returned by someone else. Boy what a dumb answer! :roll:

They have decided that books are dumb and are watching crappy tv instead.

Why would anyone pick crappy tv over books?

Because they don't know how to read.


Why did I just watch 12 hours of "The L Word"?

Because the government ninjas made you do it.


Why does something you do feel so wrong even when it should be right? Like giving someone a hug, yet you like someone else?
