why can’t people from all over the world speak english? [Version 2]

By yongsheng

Due to overwhelming response from the blogosphere for this post, it’s time we have Version 2 of this classic!

Ready? Let’s go.

I wondered why…

  1. the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
  2. Police were called to a daycare where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.
  3. Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He’s all right now.
  4. The roundest knight at King Arthur’s round table was Sir Cumference.
  5. The butcher backed up into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.
  6. To write with a broken pencil is pointless.
  7. When fish are in schools they sometimes take debate.
  8. The short fortuneteller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.
  9. A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.
  10. A thief fell and broke his leg in wet cement. He became a hardened criminal.
  11. Thieves who steal corn from a garden could be charged with stalking.
  12. We’ll never run out of math teachers because they always multiply.
  13. When the smog lifts in Los Angeles , U C L A.
  14. The professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes was on shaky ground.
  15. The dead batteries were given out free of charge.

If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory. And in yesterday’s papers, a dentist and a manicurist fought tooth and nail.

One of them died. What’s the definition of a will? (dead giveaway, huh?)

Ever wondered why…

  • A bicycle can’t stand alone; it is two tired.
  • Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.
  • A backward poet writes inverse.
  • If you don’t pay your exorcist you can get repossessed
  • With her marriage she got a new name and a dress.
  • Pianos falling down a mine shaft tend to result in A-flat miner.
  • The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine was fully recovered.
  • A grenade fell onto a kitchen floor in France, resulting in Linoleum Blownapart.
  • You are stuck with your debt if you can’t budge it.
  • He broke into song because he couldn’t find the key.

We know the world is screwed up when a boiled egg is hard to beat, all humans have photographic memories which were never developed, those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end. When human females see their first strands of gray hair, they’d think they’d dye. Plus, most bakers trade bread recipes on a knead to know basis.

And here’s the best part: In a democracy it’s your vote that counts; in feudalism, it’s your Count that votes.
