PONDERING         Now I know most people have often thought of why things were named what they were or how we came up with with things such as Driveways where we park and Parkways where we drive so I am going to add a few more to this list. Lets start with Buffalo Wings: Now I have checked all over a Buffalo to try to find them wings and yet to find them. Chicken Fingers: Chickens don't really have fingers but we love them so much. Pig Knuckles?? Now I have heard of Brass Knuckles but pigs really don't have knuckles geeze this is getting outta hand we all of a sudden make up parts for animals that they don't have that we eat. Now we all know that Hot dogs really are cold and in the meat section and Chili dogs are served hot but far from chilly!! Have you ever been at a crosswalk where they have those walk signs? Have you ever noticed that they say "Don't Walk" when you are in the middle? Now what are we supposed to do stop there and wait for the walk again and get hit? I think it should say "RUN FAST" rather than "WALK". How about the Drive up ATM's? I have yet been able to drive up and use them without getting out of the vehicle and use it. You may say well drive up closer and that would be great but that you still have to have a reach of a basketball player to use it. Then of course we have the Drive Thru's fast food restaurants where you drive up  speak to a big box that talks to you in some kinda alien voice that we really don't understand we just guess they say "Welcome to So and So may I help you?" but I think if you were to really know they are saying "Hahaha you have no clue what I am saying and we can hear everything going on in your car and stop yelling at little Billy he is just hungry". Then of course you have to drive around to the window and there is only three windows  and you have to figure out which window to go to. Then you sit and wait for your food after paying for it. Now that to me isn't Fast Food I think it is easier to go inside and wait in line and order the food and then get the food and go. There is less confusion and you at least get to talk to a real person and you get to choose what line to get into. Next complaint is the sign that says "Workers  Ahead" almost always you slow down in case you have to stop and you travel 10 miles waiting to see where the workers are and they are never to be found. I wonder why that is? Were they abducted by aliens or kidnapped or was this just a way to get us slow down? Or if you do see them there are five people there and only one is digging or working. Does it really take four people to watch that one person working? If so I sure wouldn't want an employee like that. How about them Speed Bumps?? I mean I saw a sign saying "Speed Bump Ahead" So I sped up and Oh my God why do they want you to speed up to go over them? Think it could be a conspiracy from the Auto Parts Dealers? Because after speeding over a few of them you will sure need some new part for your auto. I never thought we ever needed to tell the world that we had slow children but sure enough they have signs in some neighborhoods saying"Slow Children". Like kids don't have enough problems nowadays. What are parents thinking of? So all in all I guess things don't have to make sense as long as we know what they mean. And some people may say James you ponder on things that don't need to be pondered on but that is me I guess always wondering. So if we played a game of Heads and Tails with a coin and for some strange reason the if the coin were to land straight up on its side do I win or lose?
