I got to thinking about some things recently, I and decided to give this a shot. You've probably heard many of these already...
Q. Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
A. Well, simply put, we must break the two words apart. Drive and way, or a path that gives way to driving. Park and way, a path that gives way to parking.
Q. Why will a dog stick its head out the car window at 55 mph but it gets mad if you blow in its face?
A. Again, it's a simple scientific answer. Dog's have a powerful olfactory system. They can smell something that we would never pick up. With their head out the window, they are greeted by a diffuse variety of scents. Blowing directly into their face, essentially causes sensory overload. Then again, they use their tongues as toilet paper...
Q. What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?
A. If you attack this question from the Freudian angle, then just say sex and leave it alone. But we'll forgo the Freudian in favor of the... well, the... um... anyway, if you think about the message hidden inside the "hokey pokey" you'll find that it's almost a coming-of-age adventure where the participant puts something of him or herself in and then takes it back. This is basically what we do over the course of our entire lives. We meet new people, and in the course thereof we surrender parts of ourselves, but as people come and go in our lives we gain things back, thus "hokey pokey"ing our way through life.

There is a special kind of post that comes out after midnight. I miss writing posts like that... because I'm never up that late anymore.
Good stuff mate. Made me laugh through one blood-shot eye this morning.
