Random Thoughts: Who Dry Cleans a Shower Curtain?

My shower curtain has a tag on it that says "Do Not Dry Clean."  Is that really an issue? 

I understand where the word "Sunday" came from (day of sun), even though it sometimes rains.  But what about Monday through Friday?  What's a day of  Mon?  Or a day of Wednes?  Who came up with these terrible names?

Rule of Life Number 189: a community that supports a Ryan's Buffet is unlikely to have a lively theatre scene. 

Why is that people only report ghost sightings in old, decrepit buildings?  If ghosts really exist, why wouldn't they rather live in a modern McMansion, with a nice pool and all the latest gadgets, rather than a 150-year-old two bedroom in a bad part of town.    Just saying. 

If you ride a horse to work and park it on a downtown street, do you still have to feed the meter?

Why is it that religion-themed roadside signs that say things like "JESUS SAVES" only appear in conservative rural areas, where most everyone is already a Christian?

Do news anchors tell bad news to their loved ones with the same plastered smile they use to give their daily crime reports?

Why is it that people who don't belive in global warming tend to also be against abortion and high taxes on the rich? Is there some hidden connection here that I'm missing? 

After February, I think the worst month of the year is July.  But I'd listen to arguments for January and August.

Why do coaches and players have to answer to the media after games and explain their mistakes but referees and umpires don't have to?

Why would national news outlets rather repeatedly tell me that New York City survived Hurrican Irene with no major drama than mention the devastation it rendered elsewhere? 
Speaking of which, when a tropical storm hits New England, shouldn't they call it (the storm) something else?

Three-day weekends in this country always end of Monday.  Would anyone complain if the celebration was Friday instead?  This would work a whooooollllllllle lot better. 

More on that next time...
