Why? (Rhetorical questions of silliness.)
A thread for asking (rhetorically) "Why?" - (Things that make no sense in question form.)
No answer needed as it's rhetorical! Add your own - making your question as entertaining as possible. Last edited by 1611mac; 12-01-2011 at 01:57 PM. |

The driver of a train is called an "engineer"..
The driver of a ship is called a "helmsman".. The driver of a Shuttle is called an "astronaut".. The driver of an airplane is called a "pilot".. The driver of a limo is called a "chauffeur".. But.. The driver of a race car is called a "race car driver" Why? (I vote for "elliptical pattern navigator") Last edited by 1611mac; 12-01-2011 at 02:07 PM. |

Nyssa wrote as part of a post:
To quote "Loose Bruce Kerr" in the song "Safe From You": Why do birds flap their wings in fear, every time you are near? Quoting Rupert Holmes: Do you pina coladas? Do you like walks in the rain? Are you into yoga? Do you have half a brain? |

Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Why do they make cars go so fast its illegal? Why is it called a "building" when it is already built? Why do they call them "apartments" when they are all stuck together? |
