More random thoughts that cross my mind, as I sit floor-time.

Here are a few more random thoughts that cross my mind, while I sit floor-time in our office, waiting for the phones to ring.

Why does the sun lighten our hair, but it darkens our skin?

Why can't women manage to apply mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? C'mon, if they were truly psychic.

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Shouldn't they have perfected it by now?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavors, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

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

Shouldn't there be mouse-flavored cat food?

And when dog food tastes new and improved, who tested it?

Is it really necessary to sterilize the needle used for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they just make the entire plane out of the stuff?!

Do sheep shrink when it rains?

Why are they called "apart"-ments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is CONgress the opposite of PROgress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Wow....truly random! that's funny! I don't get floor-time, so my mind doesn't go this direction very often, but funny.

Alan, thanks for the chuckle. I had to think about the mascara comment and indeed, I don't believe I could do it with my mouth closed, now I will probably poke my eye out trying to test myself.

Karen - I don't normall sit floor-time either... but another agent asked me to cover hers... and well, it was a weak moment.

Anita - you can't sneeze with your eyes open either.

Alan...I have told a client or two looking for a better deal (read reduced commission here) I don't need the practice any- more I need the money. some may practice real estate...I'm good enough NOW that I don't need the practice.

I have wondered about the majority of these for years my friend. Welcome to enlightenment.

Steve - I'm a little "out of practice" these days... I could use a bit more practice.

JL - ahh... enlightenment. Is that what this is?

Wow your mind is active there on floor time. I have a small son, and he is always happy to taste test dog food.

Alan, definitely this is my favorite:

If con is the opposite of pro, is CONgress the opposite of PROgress?

and: Why can't women manage to apply mascara with their mouth closed? Is a question so profound, so mysterious that we may never know the answer.

Kathleen... I am so sorry to hear that :-)

Nick... if we EVER understand the marvel that is "woman"... she will no longer hold the mysteries the we love to unravel (or is that unwrap?)

These are funny. Thanks for sharing them with us.

:)=

Betina - thanks... I thought that was a smiling beaver!

Alan:

Where do you get these wonderful pearls?

I can actually apply my mascara with my mouth closed - but it took many years of practice :)

I don't find them, Claudette, they find me.

I think I'm going to go take off my mascara and reapply it just to see if I can......

Alan, I'm continually amazed at how much we are on the same wave length! Forget the unravel (that will never happen) and go straight for the unwrap!! Sorry ladies if that sounds a little "sexist"...I'm a male...it's my willing job in life...it's proven to be in my DNA...so I can't help myself and besides I love all you wonderful women...mascara issues and all!!!
