I was thinking, one is good enough, it doesn't take two.
Good is good enough, doesn't have to be great.
Here is better than there.
If so, Dr. Rational prefers 'cute'.

News from Dr. Rational's Office on Wednesday, April 9, 2014.
It appears that Dr. Rational will be taking a much needed few days recess from his RHP General Forum Office. I reminded him that there was supposed to be a final #15 Puzzle. Dr. Rational smiled as he said: "Oh, that one. Well, it had been delegated to my cousin Intern Irrational and his submission just wasn't up to the RHP/GS Standards." During his absence, Maxine whose office is next to the Lemonade Stand across the street from Dr. Rational will be presenting her latest,
"Maxine is at it again: I have questions!"
A) Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety-one?
B) If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one out of five enjoys it?
C) Why do croutons come in airtight packages?
Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?
D) If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
E) If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
F) Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a racecar is not called a racist?
G) If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
H) If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
I) If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?
J) Do Lipton Tea employees take 'coffee breaks?'
(to be continued) ~Maxine

Z) Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
a) Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
b) Why do people run over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it and then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
c) Why is it that no plastic bag will ever open from the first end you try?
d) How do those dead bugs get into the enclosed light fixtures?

REMEMBER, A day without a smile is like a day without sunshine!
And a day without sunshine is, like..........night!!!!
