If a penny costs 2.3 cents to make, why is it still only worth a penny

If you got into a taxi and the driver started driving backward would the taxi driver end up owing you money?

Why do they call a pear a pear if there is only one?

Why does unscented hairspray smell?

What does the Q in Q-tip stand for?

Why are school buses painted yellow?

Why do you have a hot water heater when you don’t need to heat hot water?


Some things people will just never know…

Questions that only Adam has the answer to:

“If a penny costs 2.3 cents to make, why is it still only worth a penny?”
Because of inflation and a lousy government.

“If you got into a taxi and the driver started driving backward would the taxi driver end up owing you money?”
No, he charges you nothing if he does that.

“Why do they call a pear a pear if there is only one?”
Because the spelling is different. It’s etymological.

“Why does unscented hairspray smell?”
It doesn’t say ‘odor-free;’ A scent has just not been added. They can’t make the chemicals not smell.

“What does the Q in Q-tip stand for?”
‘Quality.’

“Why are school buses painted yellow?”
They are utility vehicles. Ever seen a yellow bulldozer?

“Why do you have a hot water heater when you don’t need to heat hot water?”
Do you have one? Mine just says ‘water heater.’
