Why do "tug" boats push their barges?

Why do we sing "Take me out to the ballgame" when weare already there?

Why are they called "stands" when theyare made for sitting?

Why is it call "after dark" when itreally is "after light"?

Doesn't "expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected?

Why are "a wise man" and "a wise guy"opposites?

Why do "overlook" and "oversee" mean opposite things?

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it?

If all the world is a stage, where isthe audience sitting?

If love is blind, why is lingerie sopopular?

Why do we put suits in garment bags andgarments in a suitcase?

Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't weclean when we use them?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside ofthe bottle?
