WORD FOR THE WEEK

tutelary \TOO-tuh-lair-ee; TYOO-\, adjective:

Having the guardianship or charge of protecting a person or a thing; guardian; protecting; as, "tutelary goddesses."

:-) THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

· Can you cry under water?

· How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

· Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

· What disease did cured ham actually have?

· How is it that we can put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

· Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

· If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

· Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

· Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

· Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

· If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?

· If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

· Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

· Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

· If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

· If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

· Why does the "Alphabet song" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" have the same tune?

· Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

· Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride; he sticks his head out the window?
