   Here's yet another pointless, time-wasting game fo' ya!
   
   **For each 'post', a question that starts with "Why does..." shall be posted. 
   **The next person shall provide an answer.
   **This answer can be anything from serious to absurd.
   **This person shall ask a new "Why does..." question...and so on.
   
   example:
   Why does it take so long to get served at a government office?

   Q. Why does the phone ring every time your in the shower?
   A. The subtle vibrations your feet emanate in the shower, resonate a particular frequency that can be picked up in a slight change of tone that a perceptive phone caller can detect just after dialling your number. This is also electronically enabled by call centre operators, mother-in-laws and ex wives.
