…why are they called apart-ments when they are all stuck together?

…when dog food is new and improved-tasting, who tests it?

…why can a pizza delivery guy get to your house faster than an ambulance?

…why do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters?

…why do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won’t miss a call from someone we didn’t want?
