Why do croutons come in an airtight package? Aren't they just stale bread anyway?
Because they are toasted, and toast gets stale.

Two of my favorites:

Why do we drive on the parkway, and park on the driveway?

Why is it called a hot water heater? If the water is already hot, why do we need to heat it?

That one makes absolutely no sense. When does water come into a house preheated?

Simply the redundancy.... we heat "cold" water, right? :p

Just a SWAG, but ...

I think the term was originally "out A whack," meaning that whacking it with a hand or hammer would line things up perfectly. It's related to the pharse "out of plumb," literally meaning "not vertical" but often used to mean "not quite right in the head."

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.....It's a HOT water heater indicating that it's heating HOT water. It has nothing to do with water coming into a house......

Now for mine...When Pamela Anderson breastfeeds does the milk come out in plastic bags? (Perhaps only funny for Canadians whose milk comes in plastic bags)
