Things I still don't understand even after college:

Why is it more expensive to purchase bottled water than soda?
Why do some women pluck all of their eyebrows off only to draw them back on?
Who invented the word “man-crush” and can’t we go back to using “admire” or “look up to”?
Where did the phase “butterflies in my stomach” come from and why?
Why would men rather drive around lost than ask for directions?
Why do some waiters ask you if you like your food before you have even taken a bite?
Was someone’s actual name “mud” and was he a bad person?
Where is the “World of Hurtin’” located? Is anyone there besides Curtis and Justin?
Why do men that are going bald grow beards? Are they compensating?
How come my laptop battery can charge simultaneously while I use the laptop but my electric razor can’t?
Why do people choose the bathroom stall next to you when the entire row is empty?
Why can people listen to a staticy radio station but not watch a staticy TV?
Why do people actually touch the glass when pointing something out (car windows, computer screens, bedroom windows)?
Why does Katrina repeat the time in her head after glancing at a clock?
And finally: How many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

ok. phew. I have a lot of comments on this one. First of all- pick me, pick me! I'm living in the world of hurtin, too. Sometimes I escape, but then I get sent back. Or I fly by as I'm getting spanked to the moon. Also, time is a little screwy here, so I have to repeat it in case I suddenly remember I'm supposed to do something at a certain time. Third-you have an electric razor? Man. Sweet. and Fourth- I HATE it when people touch the computer screen. I slap their hand away on instinct. (this was pretty bad when I worked at Best Buy-of all places)

Spanked to the moon? hahaha! I don't remember that ever happening. Thank goodness, because then the roof would leak from where you blasted off.

Mud actually comes from the assassination of Pres. Lincoln I believe. He was a doctor that helped the murder escape. Point one for Savannah! (I looked it up to make sure I was right and didn't look stupid, so here is faithful and fallible wikipedia's answer: Samuel Alexander Mudd, I (December 20, 1833 – January 10, 1883) was a Maryland physician implicated and imprisoned for aiding and conspiring with John Wilkes Booth, in the assassination of President of the United States Abraham Lincoln.)

Good work Savannah! I should get a refund on my History degree for not knowing that...

Oh Katrina, don't underestimate yourself, you're still in the world of hurtin'! And I don't know about the man-crush thing but I'm pretty sure dad has one on Johnny Depp. As far as the computer screen touching goes, you might be guilty of that one Minnie, I'm just saying...

I always wonder why guys who are bald tend to be hairy everywhere else! Eeww!
Maybe some wires got crossed wrong.
