Seven Burning Questions?

1- Why does the guy with the leaf blower always start working before 6 a.m.? C'mon buddy, don't you have something else to do before the sun comes up? Instead you cut and blow the lawn's in the neighborhood before the rooster has even crowed once- let alone three times. Oh I just read the sign on your truck.... Early Bird Lawn Service... that explains it.

2- Why do they have those little foil wrappers on sticks of gum? What purpose does it serve?

3- Why Do cell phones seem to only last two years before thier electronics craps out... about the same length as your phone contract?

4- Who R-E-A-L-L-Y built the pyramids and the Sphinx? We have 21st century technology to build buildings and yet they still fall down... but these wonders from Egypt have withstood the test of time. Massive stones- moved without the aid of mechanical equipment. The truth is no one even knows how long the Sphinx has been there.

5- Has anyone ever used a pen long enough for it to run out of ink? This one boggles my mind. I don't mean you used it and it stopped writing. I mean Y-O-U bought one of those BIC pens and began using it. Didn't lose it, have it taken or run it through the washing machine and actually used it until it ran out of ink? You checked the inside and sure enough all the ink is gone. It's sort of like how many licks are in a tootsie pop... no one really knows. BTW where do all these wayward pens go? Is there a guy sitting in his house right now with several thousands of pens?

6- Why do I always seem to hit the caps lock key when I type the letter "A" or accidentally hit the 'insert' key on my keyboard? Not being a touch typist (meaning I have to look at my fingers) the results of these two moves can be disasterous. The least objectionable is having all my caps as small letters and aLL MY SMALL LETTERS AS CAPS (like this). The worst is that I hit the damn 'insert' key and when I go back to edit or add something and have all my words disappear.

7- Last but not least. Why is it that when you can finally afford to do all the things you want and also have the time to do them-you get too old? I see this happen to so many people- it sort of sucks. I won't let this happen to me! Promise. I guess that just gives creedence to the 'just do it' advice of Nike!

Ciao.
