To quote my friend, Mr. Torquil....

* If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several

times, does he become disoriented?

* If people from Poland are called "Poles," why aren't people

from Holland called "Holes?

* "When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

* Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

* Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

* If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to make

terrible?

* Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?

* Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a

person who drives a race car not called a racist?

* If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

* Why do women wear evening gowns to nightclubs? Shouldn't they

be wearing night gowns?

* If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

* When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts," and you put

your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?

* Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

* Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale

bread to begin with.

* If you mixed vodka with orange juice and milk of magnesia,

would you get a Philips Screwdriver?

* Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a "whack"?

* If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it

follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted,

cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and dry

cleaners depressed?

* Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?

* In an emergency do Romans call IX I I ?????



Alright, they are not actual Mr. Torquil quotes, but they could be!
