English is a CrAzY Language

  1. There is neither egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
  2. English muffins weren't invented in England.
  3. Look at the paradoxes- quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
  4. In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
  5. If Dad is Pop, how's come Mom isn't Mop?
  6. If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
  7. Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
