[Mb-hair] FW: Imponderable thoughts [OT]

Naaah, I never wondered about that. What I DID wonder about, though, is why it
has an expiration date! So near the beginning of my brief radio career, I
called the Evian toll-free number that's on the bottle to ask why there's an
expiration date...on WATER. And the guy I got was actually very
gregarious...even after I told him I was recording him for a radio
bit...apparently in many states there's a law that anything sold as a food
product has to have an expiration date, so they just put an arbitrary one on
there to comply.

And the guy flat-out admitted that all they do is go down to the spring and just
put the water directly in the bottles....they don't filter it, process it or
nothing...

Because they'd have to be called "Holls," duh. :)

> 8.. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

And what's the opposite of "disgruntled"??  "Gruntled"???

> 13. If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?

Heh...just imagine if they merged with Guaranteed Overnight Delivery -- the
folks with "GOD" on the side of the truck...

Hmmm.....Seinfeld, IIRC.

And of course, let's not forget these timeless classics:

Why does "monosyllabic" have so many syllables?

Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

Why is it a "shipment" if it goes by car or truck but it's "cargo" if it goes by
ship?

Where can you park at a fire hydrant factory? Or the Special Olympics?
