This post may take a while to publish. I'm gonna keep it open a few days just to record the vast and various array of thoughts I have during the course of a day.....or a week. If I were to keep an ongoing journal of these thoughts, say, over a period of several years....they'd probably have me committed to a mental asylum! Well, just keep reading and judge for yourself...

Consider nose holes....HUMAN nose holes. My mind always 'saw' them as round. They are not round at all. They're more like elongated slots. EXCEPT.....when we're babies. Next time you see a baby, take a look. Their nose holes are perfectly round little holes. At what age to these little holes turn into slots?? I now find myself looking at other people's nose holes. I wonder if I could get a Government Grant of say, oh...$500,000.00 to "study" this over a defined period of time and then publish my findings?? (Hey...stranger grants have been granted already by our esteemed government!)
********************************************************************************
Saltine Crackers.....why do they have holes in them? THIRTEEN holes, to be exact. Does that make them "unlucky" to eat?? Seriously....why the holes?? When I put mayonnaise on them, to enjoy with cheese....the mayo squirts thru the holes. Same with peanut butter. Very messy!
********************************************************************************
Fish Tacos. ARE YOU SERIOUS?? I can't think of a more disgusting thing to put in a taco!! What do they put with the fish? Lettuce? Sour cream? Cheese? WHAT????? Absolutely NOTHING about a fish taco sounds any kind of edible!! Well.....unless you're a cat. Or a bear....an otter....some animal that already eats FISH as a steady diet. But then, I guess these animals wouldn't appreciate the corn tortilla and all that other stuff!
*********************************************************************************
Bathroom exhaust fans (aka: fart fans)......I do believe that these were initially intended to vent steam and moisture OUT of the bathroom. (probably a man who determined they were fart fans). If they were REALLY fart fans.....don't you think they'd be positioned much closer to the toilet???
*********************************************************************************
And that makes me wonder......how does a fart behave in space? As in....the space shuttle. Do they float around in a little weightless "bubble" of odor?? Could you bat it around like playing ping pong? Wouldn't that be hilarious!? Talk about the old kids' game of "Keep Away"!! LOL
*********************************************************************************
I'd like to know WHO determined where the letters on a typewriter keyboard should be placed?? HOW did this person work out the details as to where each letter went?? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to their placement, yet most of us who took typing class know just where to put out fingers to type what we want to say. AMAZING! In days gone by, when I typed "for a living", I could type up to 72 wpm with no more than 3 mistakes. I'm down to around 55 wpm now, but still....just knowing where the letters are, without LOOKING at the keyboard is a wonderful thing. I'd really love to know who & how this layout was determined. Er, um.....I'd like to know why this person didn't see fit to put the danged NUMBERS where we could easily type them?? They obviously gave up on the idea...or, by the time they figured out the LETTER placements, they were mentally exhausted..... as the numbers are just strung out in ascending order across the top of the keyboard!

BED SKIRTS! These dastardly things were apparently invented by some spoiled-rotten Diva who never had to make her own bed.....and I'm talking changing the sheets! I HATE THESE DAMN THINGS!!!
First of all, to even get the damn thing ON the bed, you have to remove the mattress. Not much of a problem if it's a twin size bed....but TRY REMOVING A KING-SIZED MATTRESS. Better yet, once you get the bed skirt on the box springs....try getting the dang mattress back ON the bed, without completely wadding up the bed skirt in the process!! ONE person cannot possibly do this! It's at least a 2 to 4 person job! OK, so let's say you finally do get the bed skirt positioned where it is supposed to be. Looks real pretty, huh?? TILL YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE SHEETS AGAIN!!
********************************************************************************
And one that has puzzled me for YEARS......WHY is pubic hair curly????? All my life, I envied people with curly hair...ON THEIR HEADS....Mine is straight as a board & won't hold curl, even with a $100 perm!! So WHY the curly hair "down there", where it does me no good???? It just doesn't seem right, somehow. But then, I guess if hair "down there" was STRAIGHT, that would look even more weird!! Go Figure!!
*********************************************************************************
I've got to publish this NOW, before it becomes so long no one will even attempt to read it! YOU have random thoughts like these...don't you?? (please say you DO!!)
