Why make cheddar orange? (This is very close to home -- my daughter will only eat orange cheddar, while I consider it an abomination. not in general, but orange cheese potatoes or mac & cheese remind me of velveeta.)
Why do they have Braille on drive-thru ATMs?

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
I don't get much sleep

That actually says a hell of a lot, if you think about it. And sadly it is so true. If only that attitude stopped at plastic house plants, people might get more out of life.
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.
