I've seen about a million of those email forwards that contain the words "Have you ever noticed...." or something similar.

But my mom sent me some today, fresh ones (at least to me) and I wanted to post some. She titled it "more to ponder.." (I made some comments in italics..)

Is there ever a day when every mattress is NOT on sale?
or why is it always the best time to buy a new car, according to the commercials..?

vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic garbage bag will open from the end you first try?
or the produce bags at the grocery store!

so why don't we say, 'That hurt, you stupid idiot'?
or when someone accidentally opens the public restroom door on you - they say sorry, and we always say "that's ok." I assure you, it was most definitely, NOT ok.

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

Is it true that the only difference between a yard sale and a trash pickup is how close to the road the stuff is placed?

In winter, why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

Why is it that men can react to broken bones as 'just a sprain' and deep wounds as 'just a scratch', but when they get the sniffles they are deathly ill
'with the flu' and have to be bedridden for weeks?

How come we never hear any father-in-law jokes?

Do Chinese people get hungry an hour after they eat American food?
