Re: Things that confuse you (???)

There's an advert running on TV for people to contribute to the cost of providing guide dogs for the blind. One person shown as wanting a guide dog is or used to be a tattoo artist. Guide dog for tattoo artist?

Then there's the administration of lethal injections in the United States. Why a sterile skin wipe first?

Such a strange world.

Confucius states that boiling potato and pea in the same pot is not hygenic.

Don’t worry I have other examples of things that confuse me.
Like why do we call it a pair of underwear when there’s only one.
In the olden days, bloomer-type knickers were originally single legs, each one kept up by being tied around the waist with a tape.

That's why they were called a pair.

Re: Things that confuse you (???)

Life itself generally. I have for decades been trying to work out what it's really all about! Having to find out, by necessity around two decades ago now 'how we tick', I have yet to find out why we and life itself has to be so complicated?

Re: Things that confuse you (???)

There are days when everything is confusing, I try to juggle to much.
The phone rings, the door bell rings, I am in the middle of writing a post, then I am confused as to where I was.
Instructions on the web often get misread.
