1. How do they get those lil slips of paper inside fortune cookies? Are they already inside when it's being fried?

2. Why are cars made to go to 140 mph or above when the speed limit is no more than 75 mph?

3. Why is it that you always realize you've locked your keys inside the car the second after you've closed the door?

why do people come on Talk shows and yell "Shut up!" or "Get out of my Business." and "Mind your own business" when yo ignant a$$ is the one on the show!!!

speaking of talk shows: why is jerry springer still on? why does everyone want to do lie detectors or boot camp? and who told jenny jones that having a man yell at kids backstage is bootcamp or that it would really change someone?

YES, WHY OH WHY IS JERRY SPRINGER STILL ON??? It is SOOOOOO fake or so I hope http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif .

Why can't the newspaper finish the story on the same page instead on 4 and 5 pages later?

By time I get to the end I forget what story I wanted to finish.

Why in textbooks when they refer to tables or figures they barely be on the same page?

I like to look at the figures when I am reading about them.

Better yet, why is there braille on
DRIVE-THRU ATM machine?

Why is there handicap parking at skating rinks?
(Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm...)

Why is there a sign in most McDonalds that says "Ask for a picture menu".

If you can't read, how are you going to read that sign?

Hello peoples,

I have to respond to this particularly because, there are people out there for many reasons who CANNOT read, who cannot SPEAK,etc. for whatever reason, disability, etc. IT IS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION (picture cues)!

This is the type of thing that I have been teaching my students, who are physically and mentally challenged for the past 9 months (5 YEARS).

Many times we take things for granted or for a joke, because AT THIS PRESENT moment IT DOES NOT APPLY to us.

BE very careful, because we don't know what will happen to us in the NEXT MINUTE, HOUR, OR SECOND. You,too could have a TBI (traumatic brain injury) or some kind of incident, on your way home or whatever, which will MAKE you have to use those SAME PICTURE MENUS you are referring to.

Soror, how about these oxymorons:
Act Naturally
Found Missing
Advanced Basics
Small Crowd
New Classic
12 ounce pound cake
Taped Live
Legally Drunk
Clearly Misunderstood

OXYMORONS:
mandatory options
mutual differences
nondairy creamer
open secret
resident alien
silent alarm
sports sedan
wireless cable
mercy killing
lethal assistance [Contra aid]
business ethics
friendly fire
death benefits
holy war
near miss
assistant supervisor
new tradition
original copy
uninvited guest

I think what she is saying is that if a sign w/ words is posted advising those who cannot read (the sign) how will they know to ask for the picture menus. Its kinda like the Braille on the drive thru ATM because blind people do not drive. I did not read her post as making fun of illiterate or brain-damaged people but again pointing out the oxymoron (the point of the thread!).

From my standpoint, that's where I come in. Or the person HIRED to help that blind person or disabled person. WE, who are "able bodied" ASSIST them. They may not can read or drive, but we can to assist them.

How many of us have stood at the drive-thru ATM? I have. Why can't a blind person who was driven to that ATM by someone else use the braille on that particular ATM (drive-up)?

I see what you are saying, but for me, it's more than that!

AKA2D,

I took some time and actually thought of your reasoning, and am very sorry to offend anyone. Sometimes, we as 'normal' people want to jump on the bandwagon without thinking a situation thru. So to that, I say

Hi All,

I only have one question today: Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

And one more oxymoron, Millitary intellegence (hey, did anyone say jumbo shrimp?)
