Why is it some men prefer to shoot for brown rather than pink? Pink is clearly worth more than brown.

When crossing a 1 way street we still look the opposite way where we know traffic simply cannot approach from?

Why is it that in countries which are predominantly Christian (e.g. Australia) we are discouraged from wishing people a Merry Christmas, display Christmas decorations or celebrating the event as we used to just in case we 'offend' a minority group, but a predominantly Muslim country like Malaysia has NO problem wishing their Christian minority a Merry Christmas??? Here is the Malaysian Prime Minister (a Muslim) sending his Christmas wishes.

I’ve never been discouraged from wishing anyone a merry Christmas.
Every year this complaint seems to be getting louder but I’ve never seen any official word saying anything of the like?

Seems it’s more people sooking for the ‘perceived’ threat to nonsensical holiday than any actual threat.

It's not hard to wish someone a thoughtful and joyous day on December 25th. That's my workaround, because I actually want people to experience those things.

Why is it, when I buy spark plug leads, no matter which brand and separation bits I use, a light show comparable to a cheap fireworks show still happens?

Carpet, horrible stuff that's never cleaned properly unless you have a Kirby vacuum cleaner.

It's soft to walk on, insulates the floor, keeps noise down, and relatively cheap to supply and lay, and lasts a long time, and my 60 year old Hoover vacuum cleaner does a perfectly good job keeping it clean.

Have you ever removed old carpet? I have and even under the cleanest looking carpet you'll be surprised at the amount of crap on the underlay.

Why is it the media is giving so much attention to Harry and Meghan 'leaving' the Royal family? What Harry is doing is correcting the world's worst kept secret - that his father is James Hewitt and thus Harry never was royalty.

Yes!, and sometime it stinks especially when the house has been occupied by dogs and feral kids.

Why is it guys with the lowest education end up being the biggest knobs? This evening security guard #39 at the Mulgrave Country Club said I was being argumentative when I was merely making a statement. A real Richard-head.

You sound like me, and the line my missus always throws out there is -


"it's not what you say, just the way you say it"


It's not my fault that I know more about your job than you do, I'm just trying to help.... oh wait..... that didn't come out right, I didn't allow for your fragile ego

.......what.., what did I say?

Why is it acceptable to stereotype caucasians but to sterotype other races is immediately classified as racism? Time for Italian males to flood the twistersphere and point out the hypocrisy!
