These are not rhetorical questions....
not every question to which an answer is not desired is rhetorical.
People do not get enough schooling in rhetoric. And why don't they? Because there is no longer the emphasis on public speaking that there should be.
THAT is a rhetorical question.
That having been said, keep these questions coming. They are hilarious. Just don't call them rhetorical.

Thank you for the correction; I do like to sound like I can speak rather than just talk. Could you expand on this for me? What exactly is a rhetorical question, and what are these? I'm very curious now. It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag. - Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Courtesy of George Carlin (again):
Why do Flammable and Inflammable mean the same thing? Either a thing Flamms or it doesn't Flamm...
Courtesy of Gallagher:
Why is there a Permanent Press setting on an iron? If it's permanently pressed, it shouldn't need ironing...
And my own:
Why are rabbit's feet considered lucky?
The rabbit had four of them, but that didn't save it. Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.

Rhetoric is the ART of oratory (speaking)
it invoves skill and effectiveness.
A rhetorical question is one that is used for effect with no real answer expected.

Why can small children walk, but only as long as they have a blanket/bottle/dummy/teddybear/potty in their hand? Baby drops object. Baby goes bump.
or:
Why did my 2 yr old nephew prefer to hear my sisters' Eminem c.d. to Bob the Builder? He'd cry to BtB, and dance to Eminemineminem.
(he couldn't understand the lyrics. Bloody hell. I can't understand the lyrics!)

How can anybody be so sick, twisted, and evil, that they have to rape a person? Let alone their YOUNGER SISTER??? How is this possible in a "human"?
Sorry...you can go back to the light-hearted stuff now. It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.

If a mime is walking in a forest, and a tree falls on it, does anybody care? It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.

Ok guys - I tried and I tried, but I just can't help it--keep in mind I am NOT a man-basher(except onthe strip of course)
If a man speaks in the woods
And there is no woman around to hear him

A woman always has the last word in any arguement.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of the NEXT arguement...  Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.

Okay...I would like some feedback on this one.
We know that cats always land on their feet.
We know that toast always lands butter-side down.
What happens if you tie buttered toast to a cat's back, then chuck it out a window? It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.
