These are not all original t o me but here goes ....
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?
There are many more, so what are other contributors favourites?
Greetings... This Thread is running out of steam, maybe...?
Did anyone know, with regards to Bathing, that it is possible to buy both "Sea Spa Salts" and "Salted Sea Spa Salts"? Perhaps this is like buying Wheat with "added Wheat", or Orange Juice with "Real Fruit Juice Added".
Also, last week, I myself realised the real difference between Red Fish (Salmon, Mackeral, Tuna, etc.) and White Fish (Cod, Haddock, Plaice, etc.)... Red Fish comes in Tins, and most White fish does not. Haddock sometimes is in tins, however, but Cod is only Tinned as ROE, which must be very inconvenient for the Fish whilst it is still swimming about in the Sea...
...Also, Pink Salmon and Red Salmon can be differentiated by one of them having a Ring-Pull upon the Tin where the other does not. By the same token, Sardines are born with a Ring-Pull Tin, but when they grow into Pilchards a Can-Opener is needed. Nature can be so cruel... (!)
