  1. If you describe something as indescribable, haven’t you already described it?
  2. If bald people work in a restaurant, do they still need to wear a hairnet?
  3. Do you think if anything is possible, it’s still possible for anything to be impossible?
  4. Why is sandwich meat round when bread is square?
  5. Do fish have a thirst for water?
  6. Why is it that lemon juice has an artificial flavor while dishwashing liquid has real lemons?
  7. Would you believe a person who told you they were a pathological liar?
  8. Which side of the armrest is really yours at a movie theater?

  10. When Donald Duck gets out of the shower, why does he put on a towel when he normally doesn’t wear any pants?
  11. Is it safe to say that the opposite of progress is congress because the opposite of pro is con?
  12. Why can’t the professor on Gilligan’s Island fix a hole in a boat if he can construct a radio out of a coconut?

  17. If an orange is color orange, why isn’t a lemon called a yellow or a lime called a green?
  18. Do prison buses have emergency exits?
  19. Why are the small candy bars referred to as “fun sizes”? Isn’t it more fun to consume a big one?
  20. If everyone says that life is totally unfair, doesn’t that just mean that life is fair?

  22. If corn oil is made from corn and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, where does baby oil come from?

  25. Why isn’t phonetic spelled exactly as it sounds?
  26. Even when it’s delivered by plane or truck, why do we have to call it “shipping”?
