Question

And I'm not even going to ask about underwear in fountains!

Answer 1

Because the rapists & co like the other one for display on their mantlepiece

Answer 2

This is caused by scrapmen taking washing machines to the smelters, first out come all the odd socks but these are blown away by the wind, then next come the shoes and gloves you mention. In a way it is like an ancient washing machine throwing up..........................

And why is the lost property department of the store I work in always full of walking sticks? How do people manage to get home with one shoe missing, or without their walking stick, without noticing that something is wrong?

Answer 4

Because a journey of a thousands miles begins with a single step.

Answer 5

It's one of life's greatest mysteries.
Panties in the fountain? Can you direct me to these fountains?

Answer 9

Answer 10

Because the rest of the body is at least half a mile up the motorway.............

one hand or foot, one window. It's very hard to get the left hand or foot out the right window, unless you are a contortionist.
