5. a few answers
"Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs."

:spray:

"If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?"

We did not evolve from modern apes. Both humans and modern apes evolved from a common ancestor who is now extinct. Anyway, it is not necessary for a new species to replace its original species for there to be a new species. In other words, an isolated fraction of a species can evolve.

"What disease did cured ham actually have?"

Swine flu.

"What do you call male ballerinas?"

Ballserinas.

"If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?"

Most people call them that and other thinks anyway.

"What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?"

glossy

"You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive."

In my case it was law school.

"Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?"

They were rejected after being tested on some asshole.
