Courthouse Steps

Here are a few of my favorite imponderables: If you forget to pay your exorcist, will you get repossessed? Why is there an expiration date on sour cream? If nothing sticks to Teflon, how do they get the Teflon to stick to the pan? Why do we put suits in a garment bag and garments in a suitcase? If you ate pasta and antipasto, would you still be hungry? Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? What happens when you get scared half to death...twice? All airplanes come equipped with an indestructible black box. Why don’t they make the whole plane that way? How come the numbers on a calculator keypad and a telephone keypad are arranged differently? Why is it that when you send something by truck it’s called a shipment, but when you send it by ship you call it cargo? And if ignorance is really bliss, why aren’t more people happy?
