Things I *just* don't understand ...

I do not understand why the cat needed any jumpers.

To clarify, jumpers with cats on!

2 things i don't understand!

Firstly paperboys/girls why they are being driven around their round by a parent ?

Secondly why people who use my Gym always want to park nearest to the door?

Why the hell do women want to "communicate" all the frickin' time? Can't they be content with just getting on with stuff? Talking about it simply wastes time.

I don't understand why 'Delilah' is regarded as one of the all-time great love anthems. Just listen to the lyrics, will you?
(Unless you think that stabbing your woman for being a slut is romantic.)

The John Otway version makes more (non)sense

Which is exactly the point.

The ultimate question is "what is six times nine" and the ultimate answer is "42".

Either that explains everything or that's because the earth was destroyed just before the program was completed, choose your own ending.

Yes, but the Question was extracted via the random Scrabble letters from Arthur's brain. Arthur should have been a last generation product of the programme, having evolved from the cavemen (who didn't live in caves) on prehistoric Earth. But he wasn't evolved from them, because of the Golgafrinchams who got in the way. Hence the question was garbled.

So I think the Ultimate Question would have turned out to have been 6 x 7, if evolution had worked, which is more correct, but no more comprehensible as an Ultimate Question.

I'm surprised more people haven't adopted Douglas Adams as a religion, you know. There's plenty of scope for ecumenical debate.

I don't understand why tuna is so nice when it's fresh, and so awful when tinned.
*flummoxed*

Tinned Tuna - nom nom nom!

Takes all sorts, eh?

Allsorts? Don't mind if I do...
*Nom*

Ah, there you go. Liquorice Allsorts. Ugh. Dirty rotten excuses for sweets in my opinion. Yuk.

Although I always thought the ones with coloured bobbles on looked pretty.

You know, when I posted, I knew there was a third possibility but I couldn't bloody remember it.

You are, of course, correct Arch that this is a third possiblity. IIRC, this one even features in the books, put forward by Ford Prefect, wasn't it? I'm a bit blurry between the books, the radio series and the the (frankly disappointing) films.

 

[Speicher]

I do not understand why when people ask me to do something, they want it done yesterday.

When I would like people to do things, well let's say, I still waiting ......

 

[Silver Fox]

I don't understand why my two grown up sons are getting tattoos.

I do not like those ones. They taste horrid.

Tuna - they seem to be a different produce when fresh or canned, but I like them both.

Tuna - they seem to be a different produce when fresh or canned,

Same goes for onions, is it really a surprise?

 

[ColinJ]

why people who use my Gym always want to park nearest to the door?

I'm afraid it's worse than that - much worse...
