Questions

This one I heared:
  • If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
These I asked:
  • Are all those Wikipedia nuts Wikipediaphiles?
  • If etymologists study word origins and entomologists study bugs, what do you call someone who studies the origins of words that are used by bugs?
  • Are domestic cars offended when their jobs are taken by foreign cars?
  • If television is transmitting pictures, how come the telephone isn't called telehearing.
  • How come boogers are the nasty things in your nose, eye boogers are the nasty things in your eyes but the nasty stuff in your ears is wax and not ear boogers.
  • I've heard people refer to being chocoholics. Where can I get some chocohol?
  • I enjoy eating crackers. Are there other foods that are named for racial slurs?
  • How come a racist hates people because of their race, but a religionist is someone who loves religions?
  • What is the verb form of ventriloquism? Can someone ventriloquise?
  • Are there any similes for smiley?
  • If disorder is the opposite of order, can I disorder my food at a restaurant if I don't want it.

Crack is Wack

I saw another butt at work today.

A rather rotund man was shoveling the walk outside my window. While slowly making his way down the sidewalk he did me the honor of presenting me with his plumber's crack. Not as mind scarring as Bubba's butt, but certainly something I could've done without seeing. Forever.

I think I need to stop looking out the window at work.
