Oh yay! The fun rhetorical question game.

Would people still feel some kind of way about the word "niggardly" if it didn't remind them of another word?

How come no one says "it's only a game" when their team is winning?

Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

I'm glad I got those off of my chest. With that said, would that statement be received differently if someone were to say "I have to get something off of my breasts?"

Never.

How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?

If nothing ever sticks to teflon, how do they make teflon stick to the pan?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical questions?

Some of those were pretty funny, and then some were just people trying to show off nice bodies. They soooo didn't get the point of the exercise. But who didn't do this as kids? Anyone with a pool, a diving board and time on their hands did goofy dives. We just didn't have high speed digital cameras to catch the fun. My brother and I would have been doing this for hours if we weren't kids before the digital age.

My siblings and I didn't do that as kids. I always hated diving boards and the idea of jumping in pools. Doing stunts like that (i.e. doing a side pose while reading a newspaper) is a recipe for disaster. Eventually.

This is one of those times where I'm going to say things like "Everyone's done it" and not mean literally everyone. I've known a lot of people who did goofy dives and even some of the poses here. I won't disagree that someone will get hurt from it, but someone will get hurt on a diving board this summer regardless. It's one of those things

Which is why i more often say that everyone's done ~something~ that fits into the 'stupid kids' category.

So have I and I always thought it was dumb and dangerous.

Exaggerated analogy:
Someone will get in a car accident regardless so why not drive while texting and even taking a shot of Cuervo? Life is unpredictable but we increase the odds and make disaster more predictable when we do dumb stuff.



Of course, it's like that commercial where the guy looks over a stone cliff to where he and his siblings used to jump into the below lake. He said "we used to do some dumb stuff back then...."

I'm just adding to the point that I hope DubaiSis was making which is the risk of these things wasn't invented with technology and the Internet. It was documented and publicized with technology and the Internet. This stuff was always potentially dangerous.

/this isn't a disagreement

This is where someone orders an ice cream cone from a fast food restaurant, drives up to the window and then takes the ice cream off of the cone with their hand or grabs the ice cream upside down and eats the cone portion. There is also "owling", where someone perches on top of things like an owl.
