What's your excuse?

[metalminx24]

Because people are weird and the more rubbish the item, the more they seem to want it.

Why do I not have the coordination required for water - skiing?

 

[Flinty]

Because green-and-black checkered wetsuits don't go with blue water.

Why can't I move somewhere with good weather?

 

[zurb]

Because I stole all the good weather for my own use.

Folks, a general reminder: If the question isn't along the lines of "Why did you..." or "Why didn't you...", or isn't answered along the lines of "Because I ..." then you're posting off topic. Try the "Ask a silly question thread" instead.

Why haven't you polished my shoes for me yet?

"Ask a silly question," sounds great.
I can't find a thread called that, only
"Ask a stupid question."

Trying to think of stupid questions is
difficult for me. I could easily think of
silly questions though.

 

[zurb]

I should have checked the title first, but yes, I was thinking of the 'stupid' thread. There can be some overlap in meaning between stupid and silly, but I guess are quite different if you're thinking 'ignorant' vs 'goofy'.

 

[Flinty]

Why is this thread so serious all of a sudden?

 

[zurb]

Because I killed it when I tried to pull it back on topic.

Why haven't you got your motorbike license yet?

 

[Aspergirl4hire]

Because the printer's out of ink, the laminator glued itself shut, and the cops are at the door with a search warrant for unlawful license-making.

Why do green ideas sleep furiously?

 

[metalminx24]

Because they have subconscious anger issues and their mum is a real nag

Why haven't you learned Urdu?

 

[Flinty]

Too busy with Tagalog.

Why didn't you pick up my pills?

 

[metalminx24]

Because I need to hire a crane every week to pick up my own!

Why haven't you emptied the dishwasher?

 

[tree]

I haven't emptied the dishwasher because I didn't have time.
I have been too busy learning how to make strike-throughs.
Nah. That's not the real reason. I can't empty a non-existent
dishwasher. I don't know how to do that. So, I didn't.

Why don't you tell me where to buy some imagination?

 

[Vinca]

Because I want all the imagination to myself! Mwah ha ha ha!


Whyam I stuck in this hole?

 

[tree]

I jammed you into that hole under my piano
because I thought that way you'd be safe
from my giant cat and you could check out
the condition of the insulation down there
while you're at it. It has nothing to do with
you hoarding all the imagination.

Why won't you take off your shoes when you go swimming?

 

[Vinca]

I always wear shoes when I go swimming at the spaghetti pool, it stops the bits becoming stuck between my toes.


What did you say to the bear?

 

[tree]

Now, a person would think that I will not be able to make
satisfactory accounting of my behavior vis a vis the bear,
that probably I didn't say anything at all to the bear, that I probably
just walked right past, and only nodded, in the most minimal of
social acknowledgements, when in fact, I knew the situation required
more because it's like "What did the rat say when he saw a mushroom?"
So---this is an instance when knowing a little history is helpful.

What I said to the bear was: "Oh. You are a bear."

Why did you not applaud at the recital last time?

 

[Flinty]

It hurts my hands to clap.

How did the RV get back here?

 

[metalminx24]

I towed it in my kayak, while wearing welly-boots and singing the Dutch national anthem.

Why didn't you get me a helicopter for my birthday?

 

[inabox]

Because it would cost too much to post it and I thought you'd be more than happy with the baby velociraptor I sent

Why have you not sorted out that light yet?

 

[metalminx24]

Because it takes several blondes to change a light bulb and I haven't perfected self - cloning yet.

Why haven't you done my homework for me?
