     Thoughts to ponder
     ------------------

     After eating, do amphibians have to wait one hour before getting out
     of the water?

     How can there be self-help "groups"?

     If white wine goes with fish, do white grapes go with sushi?

     If a mute swears, does his mother make him wash his hands with soap?

     If someone has a mid-life crises while playing hide & seek, does he
     automatically lose because he can't find himself?

     If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is
     it considered a hostage situation?

     Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they
     still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

     Is there another word for synonym?

     Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

     Just "before" someone gets nervous, do they experience cocoons in
     their stomach?

     When sign makers go on strike, is anything written on their picket
     signs?

     When you open a new bag of cotton balls, is the top one meant to be
     thrown away?

     When your pet bird sees you reading the newspaper, does he wonder why
     you're just sitting there, staring at carpeting?

     Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all"?

     Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

     Why do they report power outages on TV?

     Why are builders afraid to have a 13th floor but book publishers
     aren't afraid to have a Chapter 11?
