Bumper - Great list and I had no problem wondering why I took the time to read it (LOL). I do, however, have a correction (the melancholy or "C" in me) and an addition.

20.  If Wile I. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why
        didn't he just buy dinner?

The correction is Wile E. Coyote and the addition is:

Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?...bluejay

No. 3 has to do with the era when a postage stamp cost two cents, and putting your two cents worth in had to do with dropping a letter in a mailbox.

No. 5, imagine the expense of making ROUND boxes; for that matter if the container is ROUND, can it properly be called a "box"?

bumper, I think I can help you out with a few of these..

.Can you cry under water?
ANSWER...I have trouble crying above water but I'm betting my ex could cry ANYWHERE..

Why do you have to "put your two cents in". . . but it's only a
       "penny for your thoughts"?  Where's that extra penny going to?
ANSWER...to the idiot tax for people that have no cents at all.

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you
       were buried in for eternity?
ANSWER...If I die the way I hope I won't be wearing clothes.

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
ANSWER...because they couldn't get a square pizza in a round box.

What disease did cured ham actually have?
ANSWER...don't remember what the disease is called but I know it had to go to the porktologist for treatment

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it
       would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
ANSWER...we knew all about putting wheels on luggage but that would have only made it easier to take the whole family on trips ..so the more important issue was to find a resort of our own .. we had high hopes for the moon.

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake
       up like every two hours?
ANSWER... I believe this has to do with wet pants and breast milk.

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in
       binoculars to look at things on the ground?
ANSWER...because we know most women won't go up tall buildings so this way you can now check out that hottie in the low cut top that was standing next to you and your wife without getting caught.. worth every cent..

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
ANSWER...because on the man law scale a bra is worth one point but the panties are worth two..

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
       horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
ANSWER...so men can have a way to get thrown out of the kitchen.. were not an dumb as they think we are now are we.

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a
       coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
ANSWER...simple ..Ginger and Maryann

 

hope this helps a little..

Funny!  Seen some of them before.  I might be able to help with the first:  I don't think you can cry underwater because you need to be able to breath.  Now if you are on a scuba tank I guess in would be possible, but then the difference in pressure could have something to with being able to cay, I really don't know.  About the 2 cents question, doesn't rally matter for me, I usually only throw in a half a cents worth any way.

I have a question ..

Three guys went in on renting a hotel room and put in $10 each for a total cost of $30...

The front desk was running a special rate and told them the room would be only $25 so they sent back $5.. each guy took back a dollar then decided to tip the bellhop the other $2..

The guys started adding it up and found out they were missing a dollar..

each guy put in $9 ( 3x9 = 27) and the $2 tip to the bellhop = $29 total.. Where did the other dollar go?
