Some Questions for the New Year

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use, the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day when mattresses are NOT on sale?

How come, when you first pull the drapery cord, the drapes always move the wrong way?

Why is it that no plastic garbage bag will open from the end you first try?

Why do we wash BATH towels? Aren't we clean when we use them? If not, what was the purpose of the bath?

Is it true that the only difference between a yard sale and a trash pickup is how close to the road the stuff is placed?

How come we never hear any father-in-law jokes?
