The Philosophy of Words
(So to Speak)

Why are there Braille signs at the drive-through windows at the bank?
If a deaf kid swears, does his mom wash his hands with soap?
What’s another word for synonym?
Why do we drive on a parkway but park in a driveway?
Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do “practice?”
Where do forest rangers go to “get away from it all?”
Is it possible to be “totally partial?”
Would a fly that loses its wings be called a “walk?”
If a turtle loses its shell is it naked or homeless?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
If people can have triplets and quadruplets why not singlets and doublets?
Is Atheism a non-prophet organization.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, “Where is the self-help section?”
She said that if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
Is it true that cannibals don’t eat clowns because they taste funny?
Why don’t you ever see the headline, “Psychic Wins Lottery”?
Why is “abbreviated” such a long word?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why is the airport called ‘terminal’?
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY TUESDAY ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁
