Wacky Wednesday Why's? (Things to Consider)

Why is it that........

Tube socks are called tube socks when there doesn't appear to be any "tubing" involved?

Retailers constantly tantalize us with sales that end in 99 cents, when we have all figured out that $19.99 means twenty dollars anyway? (I know all you marketers will disagree with this one)

"Oreo cookies" became one of the worst pejoratives for black men and women in this country?

People think of Labradoodles as "boutique dogs" or "unique dogs" when they are really just glorified mutts because of their pedigree?

There is nothing really "special" about something listed as a "special" at a restaurant?

We can cure major illnesses, but we can't crack 22 divided by 7?

Most freeways are no longer free and highways were never really high?

We constantly mistreated, abused and murdered Chiefs of Native American tribes and still think it's okay to refer to the President as the COMMANDER IN CHIEF?

Candidates are no longer candid? (and never really were)

Midwesterners, like me, refer to soda as "pop"? (I know the answer to this one)

Just some stuff to think about...a little food for thought this Wednesday. Remember, our $50.00 is still out there, and can be yours for referrals to our site. Please review our postings for details.
