How do you get off a Non-stop Flight ?
Why are goods sent by ship called CARGO and those sent by truck SHIPMENT?
Why we put cups in dishwasher and dishes in Cupboard ?
Isn't it odd that to tell the TIME, you look at the HANDS on the FACE on the WRIST?
If you are assassinated instead of just murdered, are you important?
In a stadium, why are they called Stands, when you sit there ?
Why do doctors "practice" medicine? Are they unsure ?
Why is it called ''Rush Hour '' when traffic moves slowest then ?
How come Noses run and Feet smell ?
