Another is "At this moment in time", why not say "Now"? And "Basically", how many people being interviewed can`t utter more than a sentence without that word in it!

I think that all this started with"politician speak".Ever noticed how many times politicians use the words"Now look"when trying to stress a point or take control in an interview? :evil:

Why do newsreaders regularly invent new pronunciations for foreign names and cities when they can't even pronounce Islay properly? Who they trying to kid? God knows how they'll handle Bellochantuy if it ever makes the news.

If nobody buys a ticket to a movie do they still show it?

Can you "stare off into space" when you're in space?

What happens when you put hand sanitizer on a place other then your hand?

Does the postman deliver his own mail?

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

Do butterflies remember life as a caterpillar?

What do people in China call their good plates?
Suppose they held a war and nobody came?

Courtesy of The Times.

When Atheists go to court, do they have to swear on the bible?

If you are asked to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and your the main witness, what if you say "no"?

Do Siamese twins pay for one ticket or two tickets when they go to movies and concerts?

At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?

Do you yawn in your sleep?
