If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?

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?

Probably depends on the boss and worker moral.

Maybe they give-a-fuck, maybe they don't.

As usual, it's the French's fault.

"Bra" is short for "Brassiere," a French word that originally meant "a child's jacket with sleeves." It derives from an Old French word for "arms." Eventually, the word came to refer to the modern undergarment.

Thus, by replacing one word with the other, we go from "a brassiere" (singular) to "a bra" (also singular).

"Panties" derives from the word "pants," which was shortened from the original word "pantaloons," another French word. "Pantaloons" originally referred to a general *style* or *class* of garments either worn in Venice or assumed to have originated there. (That word was further derived from Saint Pantaleon, the patron saint of Venice.)

Yes. That's why your mom always wants you to wear clean underwear.

Probably not, but you can likely count on skipping that promotion.

Because we want to see fifty good looking women wearing bikinis and we can't say the same for Presidential nominees.
