1. Did you notice that cans of tuna are six ozs while if you get turkey or
chicken from the same companies they are only 5 ozs.

4. And why are beers only 12 oz?
A beer isn't a beer if it's not a pint.

6. Years ago, a lot of beers came in 11 ounce bottles.
My dad would get pissed off when he realized he had been screwed out of an ounce of beer.

8. Because Yoo- Hoo is better than all the other beverages. NM

9. because the FDA has recently proven
that 12 ounces of Yoo-Hoo is a fatal dose to anyone over the age of 12.

12. Here's some more. Why do they call a thing you drive
your car on a parkway and then call a thing that you park your car on a driveway?

Why do you get ten hot dogs in a pack but you can only buy hot dog buns in bags of 8?

Also, why is Rush Limpballs still walking around free and not charged with anything when there are people that have accused him and, supposedly, have proof of him buying large amounts of oxycontin (narcotic) from them, and the oxycontin caused him to go deaf, and he goes into rehab and comes back to his show as if nothing happened, but Tommy Chong spends 3 months in jail for having a bong?

I got a lot more but I'll stop here.
