Questions To Think About

Do you say one and a half month or one and a half months?

Isn’t it funny that financial institutions prefer credit card customers to pay up but as late as possible (so that they squeeze more money from the interest accrued)?

Do you roll down your car windows and turn down the air-conditioning to reduce fuel consumption? In the end, it means you breathe in more carbon monoxide.

Why is digging the nose in public deemed crude but yet digging the ears seems acceptable?

Why do they give babies “baby names” when the names are supposed to be for life?

Why are there no keys (literally) on a keyboard? And why is it not called a buttons-board?

Why are there no tanks on a tank top?

Why do we get sick of hearing repetitively even the most classic of songs only to feel like listening to them after some time?

Why does the military prefer to call bullets ‘rounds’ when they are not exactly round?

Why are new laws called ‘bills’ when they are not for paying and classified into ‘acts’ when they are not related to drama?

Isn’t it ironical that the word ‘irony’ has nothing to do with iron?

I still can't believe how powerful words can be. And I mean positive ones.
