1.Why do you press harder on the
remote-control when you know the
battery is dead?

2.Why is it that when you tell a man there
are 400 billion stars he will believe you, but
when you tell him there's wet paint he has
to touch it?

3.Every time I hit the interstate I see a huge orange truck sporting the company name: Yellow.
Honestly, it makes me wonder. It makes me wonder a lot of things. Mainly if I'm color blind, but among other things it makes me wonder? It makes me wonder if there's something really simple that I'm not getting.
What in heck?!!! It doesn't make sense.
If I had a company called Yellow, my trucks would not be painted orange.i've asked random truck drivers I run into at diners. They don't know. I've asked my husband who knows everything. He doesn't know. You know what's really scary???
I've called the company's 1-800 number.
They don't know either.
Have you seen it?
4. If a deaf person swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?

1. we hope there is that last bit of battery juice so we can be lazy for a little bit longer.
2. because men are like children if they can touch it they will.
3. no you are not color blind. the company Yellow paints their trucks a color called Golden Rod also a yellow-orange color so both you and the company are in part right.
4. Yes, I would hope so, But i hope it is non toxic

press harder on the remote to squeeze the battery's juice out and to send a stronger signal.

The wet paint thing, is because, we want to see if the guy forgot to take it off. half the time those painters leave those signs up forever.

i got this from a website:

"Yellow sponsors a car in the NASCAR Busch series and their driver at the time, Jamie McMurray, explained it during an interview. He said it was found that orange was a much more visible color than yellow.

Here is a more complete explanation from the yellow racing site:

In the 1930s, A.J. Harrell, President of Yellow Transit Company, realized that the streets were becoming crowded with vehicles. Concerned for the safety of his drivers and passing motorists, he ordered that the entire fleet be repainted. Harrell said, "We need to find the safest color on the road."

Harrell collaborated with the fine folks at DuPont to develop the safest, most visible color. A color that belonged to only Yellow. They experimented. They tested hundreds of colors. They worked day and night. Until one day, they created the perfect color. It was unequaled in its vividness and its ability to be seen at great distances. They named it after a wild berry that grew in the South, "Swamp Holly Orange."

Mr. Harrell was thrilled. The employees were surprised. The customers were confused.

For more than 60 years, "Swamp Holly Orange" has been the signature for Yellow Transportation. Far and wide the bright orange vehicles are associated with dependable, reliable service. The color also represents a commitment to the safety of our employees and the public. The color has become our calling card."

i think the mom would hit his hands with a wooden spoon, then maybe wash them.

I knew a guy who worked for Yellow trucking. He said that the trucks were painted orange so that when people saw a orange truck with the word yellow on it they would remember it longer.
