So You Ask Yourself . . .

Is it because light travels faster than sound why some people appear bright until you hear them speak? It's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow. How cold will it be? Why do you press harder on a remote control when you know the battery is dead? Why do banks charge you an "insufficient funds" fee on money they already know you don't have? Why is a carrot more orange than an orange? Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic"? Why do they call it the Department of the Interior when they are in charge of everything outdoors?
