Up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
Important doesn't matter....

Why is it considered important to wear socks that match when you can't see hardly any of them under jeans.?

why are phone books 'the yellow pages'? who decided the pages should be yellow?


message 899: by Sara ♥ (new)

Sara ♥ (saranicole) Well, they're the white pages and the yellow pages. And there are some blue ones and green, usually. Maybe some red. Mine has purple and black, too. But phone books are all printed on recycled paper, and white and yellow are the cheapest to make (I figure).

Oh, and one of my old coworkers never wears matching socks. She just pulls two socks out of her sock drawer, and sticks them on. That would drive me CRAZY... having different thicknesses of socks on...
