Default Odd things

This is a forum for anything that you find odd in your daily life

here are mine:

Where on a chicken are its nuggets?

Where on a buffalo are its wings?

Where on a fish are its fingers?

Why is abbreviated such a long word?

Why isn't Phonix spelt how it sounds?

Why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway? Does this hold true in Australia as well, or is this just an American mishalp?

If a convenience store advertises "we never close" and are open 24/7, why do they still have locks on the doors?

If drinking and driving is against the law why do bars have parking lots?

So you are not driving while drinking. I don't drink and drive, because it takes so long to get anywhere when I have to pull over, stop, and take a swig of beer, then go again.

Same reason Gas stations have "Conveinence" stores with plenty iced down beer, and signs "No Drinking alchoholic beverages on the premises>" Both situations helps probably helps the cops stay a bit slimmer as it all helps to keep the cops out of the doughnut shops. [>:]

True FACT: I use to own 40 acres about 90 miles north of here where I live. Good fishing pond and good deer hunting motivated me to drive up there every so often. About 70 miles north of this greater Houston area, there is a neat little stop with a nice little bar. Seemed to always be 1-3 HOUSTON Police Cars up there and on those times I checked, there were uniformed cops drinking beer and playing cards or such. This was always in the mid-day time period. Good work if you can get it!
