Life's mysteries

Why is that as you get older, you gain more body hair, but you lose the hair on your head? It just doesn't seem logical to me. I feel like if nature is saying that we need the extra layer of protection everywhere else, then we probably need it on our heads, too.

We had people in town and we went through an entire double roll of toilet paper in two days. TWO!!! How does this happen? (okay, I think I actually know the answer to this, but I am still astounded that it happened.)

When you take a shower, how does it work that you get water all over the bathroom floor? Sometimes this happens to me in hotels, but never at my house, so I know it is possible to get through a shower without getting water all over my bathroom floor, yet there it is. Water all over the bathroom floor. How do you do it?

Can someone please explain to me what the appeal of Times Square is. Why do people always want to go to Times Square? What do you think is there that is so amazing?  Please PLEASE explain this mystery to me.

Why would a person think that it is a good idea to walk through huge masses of people a) texting b) looking up c)looking backwards d) all of the above?

Why do tourists walk so slow (and why do they think it's cool to take up the entire sidewalk)? Do they do that when they are at home and not tourists, too? Or do your legs get injected with lead as soon as you leave your zone and it goes away upon re-entry?

 

I think that is enough for the moment. I will patiently await the answers to the mysteries of the day.

    We had people in town and we went through an entire double roll of toilet paper in two days. TWO!!! How does this happen? (okay, I think I actually know the answer to this, but I am still astounded that it happened.) Maybe they wanted to be extra fresh for you?  Also, travel gives some people the sh!ts.

Sometimes this happens to me in hotels, but never at my house, so I know it is possible to get through a shower without getting water all over my bathroom floor, yet there it is. Water all over the bathroom floor. How do you do it? I do not know this one.  I think perhaps some people get a little overexcited with the rinsing.  I've only achieved it in those showers without doors at the Marriott I used to stay in for work.  (They were weird.)  Side note - My H gets soap suds EVERYWHERE.

    Can someone please explain to me what the appeal of Times Square is. Why do people always want to go to Times Square? What do you think is there that is so amazing?  Please PLEASE explain this mystery to me. They saw it on TV.  I think people expect something magical to happen when they go to a well televised area.  It's the same thing as all those people outside the Liberty Bell.  You've seen a picture, you pretty much get the deal.  It's a bell.

    Why would a person think that it is a good idea to walk through huge masses of people a) texting b) looking up c)looking backwards d) all of the above? People are self-absorbed.

    Why do tourists walk so slow (and why do they think it's cool to take up the entire sidewalk)? Do they do that when they are at home and not tourists, too? Or do your legs get injected with lead as soon as you leave your zone and it goes away upon re-entry? I don't know this one either.  It drives me nuts.  Not every building is interesting.  Please reach your destination.  You are in a place where people live and we would like to get to work now.

  • Muddled, I have been wondering where you were!
  • Now you know. I have been the hostess with the mostess. Heh.

    This is not a very satisfying answer. It is just not logical.

    Planes give me this issue sometimes, but never buses. Unless I am on a bus in Mexico. Or India. But I think that it is not actually the bus that is giving me theshits.

    Overexcited with rinsing gave me a little giggle. Thanks for that.

    It it nature's way of advertising on the outside whose gametes are all old and crusty on the inside and should therefore be considered only as a last resort if no younger, healthier specimens are around to boink.

    There's your logic.

    But WHY?? What do you like about it?

     

    And, Fuss, that actually makes sense.

     

    You know what else? About that TP thing, we were out ALL day- from like 9 AM to 10 PM. Amazing that 2 people could go through so much TP from the hours of 10 PM to 9AM.  That is less than 24 hours, people.

    It's bustling, colorful... I just like it.  And there's the Toys R Us with the ferris wheel inside!
