    Someone asked me this and I couldn't answer him:
    How do you throw away a trash can? :confused:
    If you leave it there, they don't pick it up.
    I told him to leave a note, but he said they probably wouldn't read it, and they don't speak English anyway. ;)

    Do y'all have any other weird questions like that? For example:
    Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of a bottle?
    Why isn't there a mouse flavored catfood?
    If a book about failures doesn't sell, is it a success?
    What's another word for "thesaurus"?
    Why is the word "abbreviate" so long?

    Any others?

    You buy a bigger trash can and put it in there....

    It will, if you leave the top off....

    Beats the hell outta me....maybe fish is cheaper

    Of course not, it's a failure.

    Lexicon, gradus, delectus....etc

    Cuz it isn't an abbreviation....

    I always wondered...why 7-11's have locks on the doors?

    There is no known correct answer. It will simply have to haunt us forever.

    When something disappears, it vanishes into thin air.

    What does thick air look like, and why can't things vanish into it?

    LOL, does that hit home or what!! :D

    Or how about, "Does this make me look fat?"

    "No, you look great."

    "Oh, you're just saying that."

    If it's open twenty-four hours, why is it called seven-eleven? Shouldn't it be called 12-12 or 24-7?

    Why do people drive on parkways and park on driveways?

    If Americans throw rice at weddings, what do the Chinese throw...hotdogs?

    Why is the alphabet in that order?

    Who's notes did Cliff use to study for a test?

    How young can you die of old age?

    Odometer Reading

    If pro is the opposite of con, does that mean progress is the opposite of congress?

    This is weird: I just happened to be watching a Designing Women rerun and what's-his-name (the only guy on the show) went through the whole throwing away a garbage can thing. The only difference is the garbage men took the note and left the garbage can.

    If you live in Houston, you know exactly what "thick air" looks like, and why things can't vanish into it.

    Because, it used to only be open from 7am to 11pm. You probably weren't born yet...

    In soccer terms, when a goal is scored the commentator says "It hits the back of the net." Well, where is the front of the net??

    And winners never quit,
    Who came up with quit while you’re ahead?
