In the supermarket they sell bottles of liquid labelled "Still water". At what stage will it cease to still be water.
And talking of water, one brand says it has percolated and been filtered through rock for thousands oof years before being bottled. Good job they bottled it when they did as its best before date is only in a months time.
What does an occasional table become when it is not a table.
Who did the first person who bought a telephone want to ring?
Where did the first person who bought a car buy petrol from? Or who did the first filling station sell petrol to?
How many people died eating poisonous mushrooms and berries before they knew which ones were ok to eat?

I was driving through rural Shropshire, near Bishops Castle, and saw a sign which looked like a place name. And what a strange place name it was. It said, I thought, 'Still Apples'. All sorts of origins for the name were processed through my complex organic computer. And above the place name was a sign which indicated the speed limit was 30mph.
It took seeing the sign another three times to finally understand what the sign meant. It said 'Still Applies', referring to the 30mph sign. I often laugh about it!
