Things I Ponder....

Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan?

How can someone "draw a blank"?

Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

When they ship styrofoam, what do they pack it in?

Okay, I'm done for now!

    Because you've way better odds of surviving a plane ditching in water than you do jumping out of one without training.

    Sarcasm & the what's actually meant by it.

    So a head injury doesn't stop them completing their mission I'd imagine.

    Those inflatable plastic pillow things of course!

    I know you weren't looking for answers, but I just couldn't help myself. Forgive me.

    So it could be abbreviated itself, to Abbr., and prove its usefulness on itself.

    Single women complain that all good men are married, while all married women complain about their lousy husbands. This confirms that there is no such thing as a good man.

    Not so much a ponder as fact! But yes, I believe you to be correct!

    I think if a plane was going down...there would be little time to organize a parachute launch.

    Single women are attracted to married men because they seem like devoted husbands and fathers-- all the traits their wives give them! In essence, single women are attracted to married women! LOL

    Does your alarm go off or go on

    Does a fire cause something to burn up or burn down

    Do you sit up or sit down
