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.

In soccer, the coach is a "coach"..
In hockey, the coach is a "coach"..
In football, the coach is a "coach"..
In volleyball, the coach is a "coach"..
In swimming, the coach is a "coach"..
In basketball, the coach is a "coach"..
But in Baseball, the coach is a "Manager"
Why?

Good thought.. or put another way...

Book XYZ in paperback = $3.99
Book ABC in paperback = $4.50
Book DEF in paperback = $7.99
Any of the above three in eBook form: $14.99
Why?

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")

Why do fools fall in love?
Why do birds sing so gay?
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love?

Elliptical pattern navigator would only work for a very limited number of motorsports. How about; high velocity, very low altitude, wheeled vehicle pilot?

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?
