Questions I Ponder
I've read that some people don't have an inner dialog. There is no conversation going in every person's head. I don't know what that would be like, because the voices are always present in mine. I used to drive 30K-40K a year without listening to the radio, podcasts or audiobooks. I just thought about stuff, stuff like what you see below. If you read this, and it makes you think, feel free to share with me what the voices tell you.
- Why do men shave their face and why do (American) women shave their legs and armpits?
- Why do we put dead people in boxes and bury the in the ground and why do we embalm corpses?
- What makes people want to wear diamond encrusted gold on their bodies?
- What makes sense about ear piercing and why do conservatives approve of it for women but not men?
- Why are there so many kinds of laxatives?
- Professional Wrestling
- Why do people on TV and in movies drink straight liquor and never make a face? I drank enough rotgut whiskey to float a battleship and I ALWAYS made a face.
- Does the Christian's God like fancy, air-conditioned churches with sterling silver communion sets?
- For every plant that has been identified as poisonous, is there a corresponding dead person somewhere in history?
- What made someone, for the first time, pick a coffee berry, strip off the fruit, dry and roast the bean, grind it up, steep it in hot water, add sugar and milk and drink it?
- Why is it polite to excuse yourself after sneezing since you couldn't help it in the first place?
- Does all humor involve pain?
