No...........

Why is it when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Why is a fire truck red?

"Because they have eight wheels and four people on them, and four plus eight is twelve. And there are twelve inches in a foot, and one foot is a ruler. And Queen Elizabeth was a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was also a ship. And the ship sailed across the seas. And, in the seas are fish, and fish have fins. And the Finns fought the Russians, and the Russians are red. And fire trucks are always "russian" around (according to the Monty Pythonesque application of principles of logic and etymology)."

The random "stupid" question above is provided courtesy of my bff's daughter who got the comical "stupid answer" by asking S-voice, an application available on most smart phones, about the color of fire trucks.

That would be -- because in the olden days, before you could hold up hollywood with a gluten filled pretzel, also before when saving a life was the only thought rather than what disease you could get, people would lock lips with their blue lipped loved one and give them their lung contents..to save their life.

How is it to 'discover' a new world, when there is already people living there? It wasn't lost so how can it be found?

By spending time at the soda fountain, you can imagine her giving you her cherry. Was done as a tease and advertising ploy.

Why did teens always go parking in a place where it would be easy to have the car plunge to great depths if the occupants weren't careful?

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell a soda malt is! I've heard of a ice cream soda float and I know what malts are as well as shakes but what pray tell is a soda malt

oh, I was thinking that a soda malt was a few scoops of ice cream in a tall glass with soda poured over it, then topped by a maraschino cherry. I might not know exactly what that fountain type drink is called, but that's what I was trying to describe.
