It's Crazy English: The Ultimate Joy Ride Through Our Language.
By Richard Lederer...
Damn funny! It tells you about why English is crazy.
Here are the some of examples...
- Why do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand?
- Why do we call them apartments when they're all together?
- Why do we call them buildings, when they're already built?
- In what other language, can your nose run & your feet smell?
- If olive oil is made from olives, what do they make baby oil from?
- If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian consume?
- Why do they call those food servers waiters, when it's the customers who do the waiting?
- If a candy cane is shaped like a cane, why isn't a doughnut shaped like a nut?
- If fatty means "full of fat", shouldn't skinny mean "full of skin"?
- A nonstop flight; never get on one of these. You'll never get down.
- A hot water heater; who heats hot water?
- A one-night stand; so who's standing?
- It's neither here nor there; then where is it?
- Watch your head; usually was printed on low doorways,
but trying to watch your head is like trying to bite your teeth.Then he'll end with, "English is crazy".
He also mentioned the longest word.
It containes 45 letters;
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
miner's lung disease caused by the inhalation of silicate or quartz dust.
