I see nobody is trying to answer these so I'd better step up to the plate.

How come when you bounce a check, the bank charges you more of something they already know you ain't got none of?

Because if they didn't you'd bounce checks a lot more often.

Why do they have locks on the doors of those 24 hour shoot-n-scoot stores?

Because they're not open forever. Sometimes they close (e.g. if one has a fire, or goes into receivership).

How come you PARK in a DRIVEWAY and DRIVE on a PARKWAY?

You also drive on a driveway. You must drive onto it in order to park on it. It's a DRIVEWAY because it's (generally) the only part of your yard you actually drive on.

A Parkway has nothing to do with parking but rather with parks, which are nice open places with trees and grass and playground equipment. Parkways (in the olden days) had a strip of park-like grass-n-trees-n-stuff in between their two halves.

Why do they have mailboxes in front of the Post Office? You're there!

So you don't have to go inside. Duh.

Why do they have Braille symbols on the machines at the Drive-Up Bankcard machines?

Because it's cheaper to only make one kind of machine than to have a special one WITHOUT braille just for the drive-up, to please pundits.

And why do they have those signs that say "No Dogs EXCEPT Guide Dogs Allowed"??? Who's supposed to read them?

People who can see, and have dogs that aren't seeing eye dogs, and might be tempted to bring them inside. Duh.

Why do we need 75 euphemisms for "fuck?"

Because we're polite and civilized, and "fuck" was made unacceptable by the French Normans slightly after 1066.

Why is euphemism a euphemism?

It isn't. What is it a euphemism for, if it's a euphemism?

What cruel person decided to put an "s" in the word lisp?

Words for the most part are not invented but rather inherited.

Is there another word for synonym?

No.

Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?

Because it's cheaper to only make one kind of needle - sterilized - than to make a special kind of needle - unsterilized - just for one use, and a fairly uncommon one at that.

Why do people think cutesy rhetorical questions are funny?

I don't know.

Always glad to help,
