I really don't get Ben Stiller,either. But he is sooo funny in "Meet the Fockers"

I'll never understand why otherwise highly intelligent people will disengage their minds and forward obviously "urban legend" emails to me with subject lines like; "Urgent! Beware! This happened to my sister's neighbor's son's camp counselor!"

I mean, really. Does anyone really believe that if you pay a traffic fine with a check for an extra dollar, then never cash or deposit the refund check that the ticket will never process and post to your record?

Or that forwarding an email to fifty people within two minutes will make winning lottery numbers pop up on your screen, true love to find you, and some kid in Sheboygan get his liver transplant paid for by Nike/Bill Gates/ Sheik Imn Ala Dumbass?

Goooood grief....

So does she automatically go into the axis of evil or do you like have to audition for a gig like that?

I'll never understand why someone would give NA a nuclear device.

Moonliner, while your attempt to explain Monty Python to the MP ignorant was no doubt accurate for a certain segment of the viewing population, it fails to explain the reason for it's appeal to women. That is, of course, Micheal Palin. When he was younger, he was so damn cute!

They are much easier to understand when you have kids.

I don't understand why more people don't use Snopes. If you send me an e-mail like one described, you will get Snopesed by me!

Jazzman's e-mail comment made me think of this one:
I will never understand why someone hasn't helped that poor high ranking Nigerian official get his funds out of Nigeria.

I'm sorry.

I love NASCAR, and almost all auto racing. If you can look past "cars going in a circle" and see the stategy and what goes into racing, it is very exciting to me. It is not to all though, and thats ok, that just means more for me. (having been able to actually work on a Indy Car pit crew made it even more exciting)

I dont understand what makes pople think that stop signs, traffic lights, traffic lanes and right of way dont apply to them. If they would just wait with the rest of us, we would all get there quicker, rather than forcing their way in and making a lot more people get on their brakes, or worse, in an accident.

I always view traffic laws as more of a suggest than an absolute.

I figure it's not illegal if I don't get caught!

I don't understand why people get so annoyed when the elevator stops to let others get on/off. Believe me, when I pushed that "up" button I had no idea that you were already on the elevator, much less that your mission was of such urgency that stopping for me and my armload of mail could potentially lead to the destruction of the human race. I'm even more befuddled by your barely contained rage when the elevator I'm already on stops for you and -- HORRORS! -- my stop is before yours, again delaying your critical mission. If I could un-push my floor button I would.

I will never understand why people gripe about the size of a year end bonus. It is still more than you had yesterday, it is more than we got last year and it is still more than the company HAD to give you. You didn't work for the entire year? Be glad you are getting something, even if it is prorated. You aren't at top pay? Still be glad you have a job that is far above the minium wage and will eventually be at top pay to recieve the full amount of the bonus.

grrrr (found out about our annual Team Preformance Awards at work yesterday)
