Answer 5

) Why does your gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed?

For the same reason they give you an oversized paper towel to hide under while they do the exam.  I guess to give you some sense of dignity?

> 2) If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to

> the

> core of the earth?

Depends.  If you don't own "mineral rights" to your land, a mining company can dig tunnels under your land to mine.

> 3) Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Because they're trying to stretch the skin on the face to prevent any skin from bunching up around the eye.

> 4) Is it possible to brush your teeth without wiggling your bottom?

Um, yes.  I don't know how you brush your teeth.  

> 5) Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is

> stand up and say, 'My name is Peter and I am an alcoholic'?

Cause they don't publicize who comes and goes outside of the group.

> 6) Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?

Usually "steps" refer to a short group of steps, such as the stoop outside of a city home.   Stairs usually implies a whole flight of steps, such as the high of 1 story at a time or more.

> 7) Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

My freezer has a light ???

> 8) Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for

> centuries' have a 'use by' date?

When water is taken out of the ground & exposed to air, it could possible collect a few bacteria.   The bottling company tries hard not to allow this to happen, but I would be concerend that really really old water would be stagnant (not good for drinking)

Also be aware the plastic they package the water in is not a stable thing.  Over time and with exposure to light and heat, it slowly breaks down.   If it's an extremely old plastic bottle, I would worry about a build up of chemicals such as biphenyl-a.

> 9) Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a

> horrible

> crisp no one would eat?

Not all toast is plain white bread.  Some types of bread do take longer to cook.

> 10) Is French kissing in France just called kissing?

Yes.  The french are such s**y people that everything they do, they do more exciting.

> 11) Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll

> squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out'?

I don't know but I wonder about him.

Did you know humans are the ONLY animal that drinks the milk from another animal?

Humans are also the ONLY animal to continue drinking milk past the normal weaning (infant) age.  

Many adult humans are lactose intolerant.  Casein in milk also causes problems to some people.    We now know this, but there is a lot of $$$ to be made making & selling milk, so it's hard to break tradition.

> 12) What do people in China call their good quality plates?

Made in USA

> 13) Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but

> don't

> point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Because drawing attention to your genitals is usually considered rude

> 14) What do you call male ballerinas?

Homosexual.

> 15) Why is a person that handles your money called a 'Broker'?

Because he brokers deals, as in he handles the trading.

> 16) If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Nobody uses the word quizzical, silly!

> 17) If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from

> vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If only that were true.  :-)

> 18) Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a billion

> stars in the universe, you believe them, but if they tell you there is

> wet

> paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure.

Because you can't touch stars to make sure.   If we could, there'd be some dingbat reaching out and burning his hand off.
