Can you cry under water?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

Since bread is square, why is sandwich meat round?

On a similar note. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

Why is it that people say they slept like a baby when babies wake up like every two hours?

If you drink Pepsi at work in the Coke factory, will they fire you?

How come Americans choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America?

If a 999 (911 for our US friends) operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call?

When signing up for an exercise class you are told to wear loose-fitting clothing. If you had any loose-fitting clothing would you have signed up in the first place?

Stress is when you wake up screaming and then you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.

Can you cry under water?

- Yes, of course. Crying is the production of much eye-fluid wich results in tears coming out of your eyes. This as a reult of strong emotions or pain (or whatever other reason). Those reasons exist underwater, and being underwater doesn't prevent additional eyefluid to be created 🙂

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

- Generally an assasination is a murder by someone who was instructed to do so (and possibly even paid for). The word also applies to carefully thought out murder-plans, in wich the murderer tries to stay unnoticed (sniper rifle is a nice weapon for that). I am of no big importance to most of the world, but i can still be assasinated.

If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

-metaphorical use of words. You can see that bank and all it's components as a tree, the branches are the subdivisions of a bank, much like branches are subdivisions of a tree.

Since bread is square, why is sandwich meat round?

- In the process of meat it's more convenient to make round meat.

On a similar note. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

- Easier stacking

Why is it that people say they slept like a baby when babies wake up like every two hours?

- Babies sleep cute, and WHEN they sleep they are very silent.

If you drink Pepsi at work in the Coke factory, will they fire you?

- No, people can have all kinds of reasons to drink Pepsi in stead of Coke, they cannot fire you for most of those reasons

How come Americans choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America?

- Presidence is much more important, and therefore the selection process is much more complicated and lengthier.

If a 999 (911 for our US friends) operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call?

- What country are you in? Here in Holland we call 112. The operator doesn't have to call anyone (if he's even ABLE to call anyone during a heart-attack. I've heared those are quite attention consuming). An operator isn't alone in his/her job, there are more operators working near him/her.

When signing up for an exercise class you are told to wear loose-fitting clothing. If you had any loose-fitting clothing would you have signed up in the first place?

- There are more reasons to sign up for exercise classes then making your baggy pants look like strech.

Stress is when you wake up screaming and then you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.

- Lol

I just love answering those questions way too serious :p
