Some more ponderings to pass along. Everybody loves to read ponderings. These are statements that make you wonder and think about why things are the way the are. Just don't spend too much time "pondering" because your brain might explode from thinking too hard!! (Just Kidding)

• If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?
• If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't the people from Holland called Holes?
• Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
• Why is the man who invests all your money called a “broker“?
• Why are a “wise man” and a “wise guy” opposites?
• Why do the words “overlook” and “oversee” mean opposite things?
• Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 for one of those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAÏVE!
• Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?
• If a convenience store is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, then why are there locks on the door?
• Why if you send something by road it is called a shipment, but when you send it on a ship by sea it is called cargo?
• OK ... so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the 'Jags' and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the 'Bucs,' what does that make the Tennessee Titans?
• Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the postmen can look for them while they deliver the mail?
• If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
