Why Ohh Why Ohh Why...

Why Ohh Why Ohh Why

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
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 do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
What is the speed of darkness?
Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?
If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?
Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Did you ever stop and wonder......

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"
Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its bum."
Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?
Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?
Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Stop singing and read on……. Yes, it caught me too!

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

Drinks are on the Mouse? How to use this site!
Copyright (c) 2005 Flintshire Chronicle (Trinity Mirror) From e-mail to e-ale, drinkers in Halkyn can discuss their favourite tipples online thanks to their locals website.

Welcome to the Blue Bell Inn web site, launched in November 2005 and we've had around 400,000 visitors, it provides information about the pub and the surrounding area.

Landlord Steve Marquis, who spent nearly 30 years as an IT consultant, has used his technical knowledge to give an online insight into the pub. ‘It is the perfect way to let people know what is happening at the Blue Bell Inn,’ he said. ‘I left IT a few years ago and since then the blog has taken off – I thought a beer-log would be more fun.’

For anyone not familiar with cyber-speak, blogs, (usually short for web-logs,) are personal accounts published on the internet. Steve is hoping the Blue Bell Inn’s website will give customers a chance to contribute to the life of the pub. People will have a chance to comment and even vote for their favourite beers online. Steve hopes the site will become an online noticeboard for the village. 'Our aim is to turn the site into a place for the community,’ he said.
