Unanswered Questions

 

I’m 87 years of age and I have realised I still have so many unanswered questions!  I never found out who let the dogs out . . . the way to get to Sesame Street . . . why Dora doesn’t just use Google Maps . . . why we don’t ever see the headline ‘Psychic Wins Lottery’ . . . why women can’t put on mascara with their mouths closed . . . why ‘abbreviated’ is such a long word . . . why lemon juice is made with artificial flavour yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons . . . why they sterilise the needle for lethal injections . . . and, why do you have to ‘put your two cents in’, but it’s only a ‘penny for your thoughts’,  where’s that extra penny going to . . . why do The Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune . . . why did you just try to sing those two previous songs? . . . and just what is Victoria’s secret? . . . . and do you really think I am this witty?  I actually stole this from another society’s newsletter, who stole it from a different society, who stole it from a friend, who stole it from a friend of her brother’s girlfriend’s uncle.   Now it’s your turn to steal it from me!!
