More minor mysteries of life:

[qnr]

How come you can never find the tweezers when you get a splinter?

Do you have any?

[TOhioLiberal]

1. Probably for the same reason...

...I can never find my nail clippers when I need to clip a hangnail...;):rofl:

[qnr]

5. Really. Actually, I always come across the toenail clippers that I

couldn't find earlier.

[TOhioLiberal]

8. well...

...I find that the tweezers are right next to them...usually.

[Shine]

2. Yes, and I'd loan them to you if I could.

Good luck.
:hi:

[qnr]

4. Why thank you - Once again, as someone that made a career out of

communications, I managed to flub the whole communications concept --- I meant "Do you have any 'minor mysteries of life?" :)

[Shine]

9. LOL! Oops, silly me. Yes, I've got some:

WHY is it that whenever I'm ON TIME for an appointment, all the traffic flows smoothly, but when I happen to be running LATE, I get stuck behind the slooowest drivers, or loooongest red lights? :shrug:

[qnr]

12. That is so true. n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Or when you're going somewhere you really don't want to go

like, say, the proctologist, you always get green lights.

3. Why are white cats attracted to black trousers?

:shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

6. And why are black cats attracted to white trousers?

And who wears white trousers anymore? :shrug:

[Heidi]

7. I have white linen, hip-hugger palazzo pants.

They're lovely in summer with flat sandles and a sleeveless, lime-green mock turtleneck. :thumbsup:

[qnr]

28. I don't even want to think about what is attracted to lime-green mock

turtlenecks.... :hi:

[Heidi]

29. Lime green looks great

especially with redhair, green eyes and a light natural tan. :thumbsup:

[qnr]

30. Oh, I agree - I'm just talking about what kind of (non-human-male) critter

would be attracted

[Heidi]

31. This sweet boy is attracted,

regardless of the color. (Can cats see colors???)

[qnr]

34. cosmic balance? -- Don't know about the other part, except they do in

movies, so black cats aren't being laid off yet... :hi:

[Benfea]

10. How do Republican brains get electrical signals...

…all the way to their fingers and toes? I can't imagine their brains generate enough amps to get a signal that far.

[qnr]

14. Cheney makes sure Haliburton gets a no-bid contract to put in repeaters-

gotta get them to the voting booths.

[applegrove]

11. Why do birds suddenly appear - everytime - you are near?

[qnr]

13. I heard there was some conspiracy of angels or something

:hi:

[applegrove]

16. Stay away from Cheney if birds are nearby. That all I can warn.

[qnr]

17. "On the day that you were born, the angels got together, and decided

to create a dream come true..."

[applegrove]

19. Duh. But keep clear of Cheney. He doesn't care who is between him

and birds. I should have known the next line - :blush:

[qnr]

20. heheh true, true n/t

[leftofthedial]

15. I can never find the barbed wire

when I want to floss my ears

[qnr]

18. I prefer electrical to barbed, it helps melt the earwax.

:hi:

[leftofthedial]

21. I'll have to try a little juice

in the barbed wire, for those stubborn clogs.

:hi:

[auntAgonist]

23. why is it that when you lose something ..

you find it in the last place you look?

hmm?

[qnr]

25. Well, I've actually kept looking on occasion, just to confuse people and

prove that rule wrong :)

[Fox Mulder]

24. I don't even think I own a pair of tweezers...

How come I can't find a rubber band when I need one? Or a paper clip? Or even an envelope?

Maybe my house has a ghost...

[qnr]

26. Apparently, you're being /way/ too trustworthy at work

:hi:

[qnr]

27. Why does an incomplete yawn make you feel so unfulfilled? n/t

[mykpart]

32. Baby shampoo doesn't burn your eyes.

If they know how to make shampoo that doesn't burn your eyes, why don't they make it that way for everybody?

[qnr]

33. Now that is a good point, and one that never occurred to me. Which

is interesting to me since I run through about 8600 totally random thoughts per day.

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. I confess... I am a tweezer addict.

I probably have at least 10 pair of tweezers. :hi:

[qnr]

36. Actually, I think the more apropos question would have been: "How the

heck did I get a metal splinter under my fingernail just by touching my head?{"

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. My guesses...1. You work in a machine shop (like MrG) or 2. you

are married to somebody (like MrG) who works in a machine shop. I step on those little, curly, metallic suckers all the time. :) Once I even had to have one cut out of my foot. :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

37. Why are the missing items always found the last place you look.

[qnr]

39. And on a related front, why, when someone says that, do I always think

of a Bazooka Joe comic from some Bazooka bubble gum. Where someone is looking for something in a place other than where they dropped it because "the light is better here."

I've seen it in many other places too, but that is the one (from the bubble gum) that I always remember.
