I've often wondered...

...why airplanes have ashtrays.

...why people ask for things, get them, then don't want them anymore.

...why a great majority of Filipinos think "poor" and are inherently corrupt.

...why I wasn't born 5'10, blond and on the border of France, Germany, and Switzerland, so I automatically speak four languages. (Really, it would have made no difference to God.)

...why Cantonese sounds so annoying.

...why diet 7-Up tastes so bad.

...why people don't bother to be nice.

...why can openers are always so difficult to operate.

..airplanes are old. Unfortunately, some still fly today, even though smoking has been banned more than 10 year. Airplane smoking areas are much missed.

..if you want to learn 4 languages, try being born German, Austrian or Scandinavian in the next lifetime. It's partly the culture, mostly the curriculum. You'll get at least 3. 4 if you're good.

..try watching Shaolin Soccer with Mandarin audio. I did. what a difference; although the humor is stronger in Cantonese. But yes, Cantonese has that inflection that
makes them sound very annoyed.

..because diet 7-UP has less sugar, which is supposed to make you feel good about more lime, less sugar.

..can openers need leverage. From you.
