Picture this:
 1. Guy goes away to see a friend for the weekend.
 2. His "mates" get some watercress seed, and blow it under his door,
    with a vacuum cleaner.
 3. They then spray a water fire-extinguisher under the door.
 4. The watercress grows nicely in the carpet for a few days.
 5. Guy returns, to find a new green carpet in his room...

This was done to a friend of mine (not by me...), and he took it remarkably
well, considering.

Pick a number between 2 and 9.

Now take that number and multiply it by 9.

You should presently have a two digit number.  Add the two digits together.

Now take that number and subtract 5 from it.

Take the letter in the alphabet that corresponds to the number that you have.
(eg. 1 and A, 2 and B, etc....)

Now, think of a country that starts with that letter.

With that country, take the second letter in the name of the country and
think of an animal that starts with that letter.

Finally, think of the colour of that animal.

    This is a long story, but it is kinda silly, and ends in a challenge to
    you humorists out there.


                               WHY ASK WHY NOT?

    Recently my sister-in-law to  be  was  visiting.   On  Sunday  morning,
    Cathy,  volunteered  to  cook  breakfast.   She  was  my (*ahem*) older
    sister-in-law-to-be, and wanted to impress my future fiancee  with  her
    omlette baking skills.  My fiancee, however, also wanted to demonstrate
    her kitchen abilities to her older sister.  Pots, pans,  utensils,  and
    implements of destruction were headed in all directions.

    I saw the writing on the wall, and headed out.  (Figuring that I  could
    find better things to do than get told to stay out of the way.)

    I started working on another project,  but  upon  passing  through  the
    kitchen (mistake), I noticed that Cathy had placed a spoon with raw egg
    on it on the stove.  Now, anybody that knows  anything  about  physics,
    organic chemistry,  or  cooking+  knows  that  the  strongest  commonly
    occurring solid is not diamond, but actually dried-on-egg-yolk.

    Knowing that since they cooked, I was doomed to have to clean up, I got
    out  a  saucer,  and demonstrated the age-old bachelor trick of putting
    the spoon on the saucer in order to prevent having to  take  the  stove
    top  apart,  clean  it,  and  put  it  back  together again.  Cathy was
    surprised, and said, "Why get another dish dirty, when you  could  just
    clean the stove?"  My fiancee agreed with her.++

    Okay, So, my challenge to you, is  to come up with things which fit  in
    the following two blanks:

             Why ___________ when you could just _______________ ?

    Or, alternatively:

           Why not ___________ when you could just _______________ ?

    You shouldn't have to resort to acts of copulation or fornacation,  the
    field is wide open.  For examples:

           Why use a napkin, when you could just wash your clothes?
            Why floss, when you could just have your teeth drilled?
         Why wear a seat-belt, when you could just have brain surgery?

    You get the idea.  Have fun.

    As always, names have been changed to protect the innocent.
