Default Have You Ever Wondered?...

...why onions smell like armpits and visa versa?

...why can't horses or cows throw up?


What silly things have you pondered, wondered or asked about?

I've wondered how some of my coworkers made it through 4 (or more) years of college but have no common sense.

I've wondered how some of my male coworkers ever found a wife...or these guys must behave much better at home than they do at the office.

I've wondered if some of my male coworkers have a special "lazy man spray" that they spray on themselves in the parking lot just before entering the office. The lazy man spray stays effective for approximately 8 hours and wears off soon after leaving the office for the day.

I've wondered how some of my male coworkers know how to use their work computers to find out how their stocks are doing, how their favorite sports team is doing or find out the latest sports gossip, but apparently have no idea how to use their work computers to manage the projects that are assigned to them.

Default Jesus Loves me this I know...but why?

wonder:
  1. how the universe works, like if things happen for reason let's have it.
  2. why I am so lucky these days (except #3)
  3. why I never found a true love (not including my dog)
  4. where Waldo is (not including the town with speed trap on 301)
  5. how my well-mannered dog got herself abandoned thrice and then found me (see#2)

Cows regurgitate their cud and chew it to completely mix it with saliva. That helps to break it down for better digestion. But as far as throwing up, I have never heard of that. You might say they throw the food (cud) up into their mouth for extra chewing.

Your arm pits will smell like onions if you eat too many raw onions or too much onion powder. But an onion just smells like an onion.

And I am wondering why Honey Boo Boo, the Kardashian family and the Jersey Shore TV show cast are so popular? Maybe I am getting old!

No sir. Just my observations during my years with my employer. Some of my male (and female coworkers) are great to deal with. Some not so much. But that is true at any job...

When a baby hurts itself, why does the mother usually say, "oh, you have a boo boo? Honey got a boo boo?"
