Now that we have been relegated to the confines our homes because of the coronavirus outbreak, it’s as good a time as any to spend time thinking about the great mysteries of our time. Below is a list of the top 20 quandaries you should ponder during this time of forced solitude that will help keep you from developing cabin fever:
- Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
- Why do “fat chance” and “slim chance” mean the same thing?
- How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?
- Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
- Why is it so hard to remember how to spell ‘mnemonic’?

- Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do “practice”?
- How can a cemetery raise its burial cost and blame it on the cost of living?
- If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
- Is grass really greener on the other side?
- If you wear an antennae to a wedding, would the reception be better?

Seriously, pondering these difficult questions will help you pass the time and guard against your brain turning into mush.
Hey, without a sense of humor, we are lost!
