      Re: A Rhetorical Question

      Here's one I read over the weekend on a jar of cheese-flavored salt for popcorn.

      It said to spray air-popped corn with a no-fat vegetable oil like olive oil.

      And why are gooseberries called gooseberries, when they don't look goose-y at all?

        Why do people classify things as "red" when they are obviously purple or pink? Red grapes for instance.

                Re: A Rhetorical Question

                If a parent is really upset about needing to sign a consent form for her minor daughter to see a doctor, when it's "just a cold," why doesn't she get some over the counter remedies, tuck the girl into bed for two days and be done with it? Am I the only one who doesn't see a doctor when it's "just a cold"?

                Why are my students amazed to see me typing in English? They KNOW I don't speak Japanese. Why do they think I could write it?

                Why is it so cold in here?

                  Why do I see signs on baby's toys which say "not suitable for children under 3 years old". I've seen no OVER-3-years old really interested in a rattle.

                    Why does the top I'm wearing today always look like it has stains on it? I don't drop food all over my bosom yet there are these little stains. If an eyelash falls out and lands on my top, it would probably leave a little greasy stain. Why? Why?

                      Why do people feel the need to waste everyone's time and spread their germs around by going to the doctor when they have a cold when everyone knows there is no cure for the cold and the doctor is just going to send them home and tell them to rest up?
