Unanswered Questions
I saw this topic in the Delta chatroom and I want to see what the Lovely AKA's ladies could come up with. Here was my response. Just to add a little humor.

Here is my addition to unanswerable questions. This isn't a series of questions, rather a look at some common findings we deal with on a daily basis, that puzzle most everyone.
These views are from a comedian, George Carlin, and if you ponder for a second you will see how much sense this makes.
First topic: Freedom of Choice
Do we really have freedom of choice? Why does it seem that the really important things in life have limited choices and the not so important, many choices. For example:
only:
2 political parties
3 oil companies, soon to be 2
about 3 commubications companies
31 flavors of Ice cream
114 different kinds of cereal
Personal Stuff:
why is your sh@t STUFF and someone else's stuff SH@T?
"I need a place for my stuff"
"I wish he'd get his sh@t out of here
Ever walked into a room and forgot why you went in?
Are these words really necessary? think about these:
