Why is it that dental flossing tools and dental picks are so tiny ?
I’m a reasonably big guy and my hands just don’t fit the tools.
Not everyone has kiddies’ hands.
Plane seats are designed to suit ten year olds to fit more cattle in the truck, but it wouldn’t cost much to make man-sized flossing things. Grrrr.

Why is it that rare old cars are always found in barns rather than garages or sheds?

The O-Bahn?

The root question is surely, why is it, that so many still aspire to Australia being the 51st State?

[Citroënbender]

Unrelated, why is it that car batteries are $20+ dearer in Melbourne metro than Sydney? Are the bulk of them unloaded at Port Botany?

Why is it that, no matter how much care you take to neatly coil a chord or cable, when you go to unravel it, it turns into a rat's nest that takes 10 times longer to unravel than you took to carefully coil it?

It has a name too..."Murphy's Law"....I unravelled 240v leads everyday of my working life, the best I found was coiling it tight between hand and elbow, then tie off in centre.
We ended up using MIG spools, but you're right its different every time you pick em up!

Depends who supplies, in Perth I worked on a neighbours Getz, that car has more CCA than my Ford 6cyl?

RAC quoted $180 I told her that if they drop it off and I fit it it's $20 less?... so $160, that Getz has 520 CCA battery, my Ford AU2 6 cylinder is 480 CCA

Why can you both brush your hair and Combe your hair but only brush your teeth.

[Tonz]

you haven't seen my neighbours teeth

[.:4:.]

You could technically comb your teeth, but it would probably be as inefficient as flossing your hair.

Yes, two of them are little piggies who went to market

Why is it that when people are turning left from a side road onto a two-way traffic road, they generally only look to the right to see if there's any traffic?

Nearly got collected by a person who did this yesterday whilst I was overtaking (passing) a truck parked on the side of the main road, just before the intersection. I could see them coming, so took avoiding action, but they panicked when they realised I was in their lane coming towards them.

It really isn't that much of an inconvenience to look both ways before exiting the side street.

[Tassie f100]

Had the same happen a while ago when a car came out of a side road as I was overtaking.Reckon there were 4 mirrors needing repainting,dunno how we fitted 3 wide on that piece of road.

This problem occurs at the end of our street way too often.
Its a t junction on a slight bend, so our cars nose feels vulnerable already, and then you have cars parked on side street opposite our street exit. Should really be yellow lines there to stop them parking.

for a small fee I could do that for you, unofficially of course

[slowsnake]

Why is that cowards are depicted as being "yellow"



Cheers Billy.

[burnz]

why is it they call 10 (ten)
20 (twenty)
30 (thirty)

as in 11 (onety one)
12 (onety two) ...
