Talking Two Really Good Questions :)

Read these in a Reader's Digest....

1. Why is it, when Dracula can't see his reflection in a mirror, that his hair is always neatly combed??.

and....

2. Why is it that the winner of the "Miss Universe" pageant always comes from Earth??.



Answers will be greatly appreciated

Perhaps it depends on the point of view... perhaps the correct perspective is "Since Dracula's hair is always neatly combed, why would he need to see his reflection in a Mirror?" Isn't it perfectly reasonable that a fictitious character should evolve tidy hair along the way to evolving invisibility in mirrors?

What was that? Cause and effect?... what???

Didn't I hear that the present Miss Universe visited the Gitmo prison and said she enjoyed it 'sooo much' and that it is 'suuuch a great place'. That made me think she can't be from Earth. Apparently Venezuela, from where she hales, has vowed that future contestants will know more about the facts of life than simple reproductive procedures.

1. I think Dracula's hair is always neat because we see him as he projects
himself, not as he is.

2. Jennifer Hawkins vs some alien ameoba, hmmmmm .

I have one that has bugged me for years.
Why is it called "World Series Baseball" when only American teams play?

1. Its a wig. @ sunrise fangs go in a jar.
2. Some are alien; they the ones without brains; and struggle with the human thought process.

Donald Trump has secret alien technology in his hairpiece, he couldn't possibly allow aliens into Miss Universe in case the secret got out.

Why is a coffin lid nailed shut? Are they afraid you will want to get out?

Why do they swab the arm with disinfectant before administering the lethal injection?.....

Hey People,
I have inside info on these q's

Dracula is able to change shape. From human form to bat and vice versa.

If his hair is messed he reverts to bat and then back to human shape, whereupon he resumes the last functional shape. Hence does not require a mirror.

Miss Universe: Ofcourse its always Earth women. When the entire judging panel consists of Earth residents, what else could you expect?

Would you send an Earth woman to a Klingon contest, where all the judges are Klingons?

I rest my case

Cheers Marty
