Ok, I’ve logged a lot of “library time” and have some stuff to run by you…
1. How come dealers can “miss” all your emails about a return but if you write to order something, you hear back from them in 2 nanoseconds!
2. How come the California Lottery is always won by some illegal from Chijuajua?
3. Why is it that the skinniest guy at the table leaves a half eaten sandwich and when offered desert, he says – “no thank you…I’m pretty full.” Then I’m offering to eat the unfinished sandwich, eat his desert and need a snack one hour later!
4. How come I can buy carloads of Topps Heritage and am lucky to get an auto by Seymour Krinksy and a guy gets ONE hobby pack as a Christmas stocking stuffer and nabs a 1/1 auto!?
5. How come the amount of time it take PSA to process an order is directly proportional to how bad someone is anxiously waiting?
6. Is there really a “Grader of Death?”
7. Was Vargha a real person or a figment of our collective imaginations?
8. Who invented liquid soap? And why?
9. How come when you rip a vintage box, you always get a Joe Nobody in PSA 10 and the stars are either OC or dinged?
10. What happened to Gemmy10?
Well that’s it for this time…Stoneman is regular again.
If you missed it, here's Part I.

Too busy counting your (their) money to return the email.
2. How come the California Lottery is always won by some illegal from Chijuajua?
Simple odds my friend. Illegals out number citizens about 10 to 1 out there don't they? Of course they are spending gov money (really ours) on the tickets, it's easy to buy a bunch.
3. Why is it that the skinniest guy at the table leaves a half eaten sandwich and when offered desert, he says – “no thank you…I’m pretty full.” Then I’m offering to eat the unfinished sandwich, eat his desert and need a snack one hour later!
I don't know, but I suffer from the same affliction.
4. How come I can buy carloads of Topps Heritage and am lucky to get an auto by Seymour Krinksy and a guy gets ONE hobby pack as a Christmas stocking stuffer and nabs a 1/1 auto!?
I only have a Jim Brady auto, so I wish I had an answer.
5. How come the amount of time it take PSA to process an order is directly proportional to how bad someone is anxiously waiting?
Watched pot syndrome.
6. Is there really a “Grader of Death?”
Yes!!!!!! fear the 31XX grader.
7. Was Vargha a real person or a figment of our collective imaginations?
Apparition with an attitude.
8. Who invented liquid soap? And why?
I wasn't really invented, it was found, in the trunk of a car by a husband who has a wife who forever throws stuff in there and never takes anything out until it has exploded in the heat, of frozen solid from the cold. We've had laundry detergent that has had to thaw out for 2 days after being a frozen clump.
9. How come when you rip a vintage box, you always get a Joe Nobody in PSA 10 and the stars are either OC or dinged?
See #2.... Cali illegals.
10. What happened to Gemmy10?
Probably realized he was wasting too much time here trying to be funny. I'm obviously a little slower on the uptake.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike, forget about the questions - what's your secret?
"All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
Why does 7-11 have locks on the doors if they are open 24 hours?
How come you can send a package by ship and its called cargo but a package sent by car is called a shipment?
Why do toilet stall doors open inward, causing you to brush against the bowl?
Why are there 3087 different Mantle cards in the 2006 Topps set? He has more cards in this set alone than he had during his entire playing career.
Why doesn't everybody realize that all Yankees past and present are evil? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one in the movie that knows the creepy little kid is the devil.
Why do you keep pulling mutliple cards of Warren Brusstar and Sixto Lezcano out of vintage boxes and never multiples of the big RCs?

You have words like unknown, unopened, unfair, unethical, etc. so why not unnormal? Sure, we use abnormal instead but then why don't we have words like abknown, abopened, abfair, and abethical?
The world is such a confusing place............................

How is it that there are no moons orbiting Barry Bond's head?
One of them has to give.
How is it that Beckett REALLY comes up with their prices?

If you remember way back, he was scheduled to enter Marine OCS. I'm willing to bet he's gone.
I had spoken with him - I think it was delayed a bit originally?
I hope he's doing well.
They shaved his head, took away his individuality and harass him on a day to day basis - but they can't take away his Mudflap identity!
Good luck Mudman!

safe travels mudflap.

Yes the flapster was going to OCS, and flight school too I think. Fair winds...
Gemmy10 lost his ID after it was discovered that he operated at least one alt ID which of course is against CU policy (hah!). Happened on the Sports board. At least I believe this to be true.
Some think that another ID, goyankeesgo(?) is actually Gemmy.

Also created the name GemmyI0 - an "I" instead of a 1. I believe this was his also.

Actually, I think ESPN carries them as a rerun.
ABC ran the finals tonight on prime time.

Are there that many blind people driving up to ATM's that they felt a need for braille on the pad?
<< <i>Why do drive up ATM's have brail on the keypads?

They are for people who drive cars with braille on the steering wheel and pedals.
<< <i>They are for people who drive cars with braille on the steering wheel and pedals. >>
Thank you for clearing that up!

Why is this the funniest thing I've read in the last two years?
One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated waiting for the pilot to show up so they can get under way.
The pilot and copilot finally appear in the rear of the plane and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to be blind; the pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle. The copilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with sunglasses.
At first, the passengers do not react thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. After a few minutes though, the engines start revving, and the airplane begins moving down the runway.
The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness. They start whispering among themselves and look desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance.
Yet, the plane starts accelerating rapidly, and people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more hysterical.
When the plane has less than twenty feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once. At the very last moment, the plane lifts off and is airborne.
Up in the cockpit, the copilot breathes a sigh of relief and tells the pilot: "You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to scream, and we aren't going to know when to take off!"

Uh, so the blind friend riding in the back of somebody's car can do their own ATM transaction?

Because opening them outward would cause you to hit people with the door as they walk by.
