This seems vaguely familiar and may have been on here before - so apologies if that is the case - but just received this from my niece and thought I would share it. Edited slightly - some questions for home viewing only and deleted! LOL

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle? Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"? If you send someone 'Styrofoam', how do you pack it? If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be? If it's true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing here? If someone with a split personality threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation. Can you cry under water? What level of importance must a person have before they are considered assassinated, instead of murdered. Why does a round pizza come in a square box? If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on bigger suitcases? Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up, like, every two hours. If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to see things on the ground? Why do Doctors leave the room or close the cubicle curtain while you change? They're still going to see you naked anyway.
