Clippers of Nfl Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Why are the sides of the freeway called "shoulders?" Why arent they called ears or arms if we're talking body parts? A cop told me pull over to the shoulder. I told him, "What does that mean". He said "the side". What's wrong with edge or side? This is the question I would ask the dhali lama if I had a chance.

The Poojer Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 kegs have bungholes, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities that some vessels may have penises On 6/2/2015 at 4:36 PM, Clippers of Nfl said: Screw that. Bottles have penis too?
Nanker Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Guess you'd really be stumped to figure out why they call a toll road a turnpike.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Why do you drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway?

I've heard a boulevard described as a street, usually two lanes in each direction, separated in the middle by a lanscaped median. A quay is a type of dock for boats.
Chef Jim Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 It should be called the penis because if you're in a SigAlert (look that one up) and you drive on it to avoid the traffic you're a dick.

Sig alert named after some guy named Sig. That's all I care to know about sig alerts.

Because the old toll roads would have a big wooden pike (a tree trunk sharpened to a point on one end) turned to the uncoming traveller. If they would attempt to jump it, it would impale them. Like the revetments around a fort that used wooden pikes. In this case, pay the toll and then "turn the pike" so one can pass safely. They didn't have Smokey The Bear to chase a gate jumper down.

Vlad the impaler started the toll roads? Is that what you're telling me?
mead107 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 How about calling it Pull over to the butt cheek. Need to get out of the crack.
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Since we're pondering highway mysteries of the universe - - there's a "Chicken Dinner Road" in Idaho that I once drove. Why wasn't it named after breakfast or lunch instead?
