Ponderisms?

The fellow who handles our tai chi communications sent the following "ponderisms" to keep our spirits up and mind active. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of them too.

Why do peanuts float in a regular coke and sink in a diet coke. Go ahead and try it..... 

(OK, I tried it. Is Coke Zero not considered Diet? I don't have regular Coke in the house, but well... what's the point?)  🙄

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
 
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? 
 
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? (taxes)
 
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
 
What disease did cured ham actually have?
 
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
 
👶Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
 
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
 
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
 
Why do doctors leave the room while you change??? They're going to see you naked anyway.
 
Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
 
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
 
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
 
If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
 
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
 
Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
 
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
 
How did the man who made the first clock know what time it was?  😏

  4. This IS funny and I would like to know why I'm wearing a PAIR of underwear, it's not like they're a pair of socks :) Anyway, all good stuff and I'd like to know if Coke Zero tastes like real Coke??

    1. Do you know I haven't had a real Coke in such a long time that I don't know. I do like Coke Zero because it doesn't have that metallic taste that Diet Coke does. At least that's what I think. You have to remember though that I've lost my sense of smell and have a limited sense of taste. So I am not a good judge of either. Sigh...

    2. Thanks Kay, and I did forget about you losing your smell and reduced taste, I'm sorry... but thanks for what you could share :)

  5. I have actually met someone who intentionally burned and ate their morning toast that way.

  9. These are great. I must send them to a friend who always shares funnies with me.

  10. These are great! I've wondered about the distinction between murdered and assassinated. Is assassinated related to politicians only or is it that the person was killed for a specific cause? I've always been confused by the baby one, except that babies do sleep a lot and very deeply. Does sugar make the soda thicker somehow, like syrup? :)

    1. Gosh! I don't know. I'm actually curious now and wondering if I should go get a regular Diet Coke and see if the peanut will float.

  11. Those are fun ponderables and worth pondering. I always though when people say they eat like a bird when a bird eats 1/2 its weight a day.

  12. To be honest, Coke zero is really just Diet Coke marketed to men

  13. Those are hilarious! I have tears.

  15. Hahaha! I sure needed the laughs.

  16. I like every one of your ponderisms.

  17. We see peanuts at your house do not intend to drown, no matter what the liquid.

  18. With the Internet and all, I seldom see a joke that's new to me, but several of these, I had never heard.

  19. Thanks for sharing these.
    Have a good week.

    All the best Jan
