How come I get really down in the dumps right after lunch and how come I log on to f.net at that time?

The worst part of having a break is going back to work after it, so obviously it doesn't make you feel like a million dollars around that time, whereas FNet always provides a laugh ot two, some of which are intentional

How come I only ever seem to get rep for stuff which I personally wouldn't rep (mainly because of the stupidity of the comments)?

How come D'Art didn't make a joke regarding "lunch" and "dumps" from the previous question?

Capt. Slo-mo's parrot's been following you ever since you put up that quote- stealing your pens, underpants, and you should also probably check your virginity. And no, that one wasn't the parrot.

How come women scream and run in terror whenever they pull my pants down?

The noise you're hearing isn't terror but hysterical laughter, they're running as they are trying to be polite and not laugh in front of you. They don't want to have this affect your self-esteem as your "almost sister-in-law" I thought you should know this.

How come more and more drivers appear like they obtained their driver's licence as a cracker jack prize?

Because, believe it or not, illegal immigrants have stormed the crackerjack factory like the bastille, and have actually been distributing driver's licenses in crackerjack boxes. However, boxes now cost $250+.

How come underarm hair is short, dark and curly too, but whenever anyone says "the short and curlies" they never mean underarm hair?

Because they mean the hair on your legs.


How come Wes thinks we're interested in his underarm hair?

Because he he's wondering if he should shave it.... but he doesn't quite know if it'll make him less manly. What he doesn't realize, is he couldn't be less manly in our eyes...

How come Wes appeared two weeks late for Go? and my first anniversary as a fake lesbian love interest?

They can't that buzzing you hear is actually a motor... those little buggers will do anything for pollen.

How come jingles are so catchy and stick so well to your brain?

For the most part it's because the music is accessible. Simple melodies, average range and no strange key changes (this last one is obviously excepting "I'd like to buy the world a Coke)

How come humans are so self-important?

Because Oscar Meyer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A...

(the above was clearly in response to FG's query)

How come this thread slowed down so much over the last couple of days, and now I'm getting post jumped?

Those with jobs have to make up for the rest of the week's work they didn't do while posting... Those without? Hungover.

How come I have all this work piled up on my desk?
