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 do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

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

Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?

What is the speed of darkness?

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

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

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

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

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


Did you ever stop and wonder.....

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?'

Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there. I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's bum.'

Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs !

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

All of those are brilliant observations and I would especially question why the kamikaze pilot wore a helmet 👍
- Extremely simple and obvious: it was for radio contact as the earphones were integrated into the helmet so that the pilots didn't have to remove their helmet every time they had to listen to a radio message from hand-held earphones.
- It wasn't so much that removing/replacing their helmet would take a long time, but mostly because they needed two hands to do it, which would have meant taking both hands off the commands (the stick) of the plane, possibly causing a premature crash, therefore missing the target.
- Having the earphones placed inside the helmet also made them clearer (insulating them from surrounding noise and putting them very close to the ear canal).
- This is not exactly rocket science though.

Two friends came up with possible reasons. One was to keep their heads warm and the other was to get to their destination. Lol. Guess we will never know.🤔
