Still don't get it

Scratch tickets.

I go to Irving's for coffee just about every work day and see people buying anywhere from 1-50 dollars worth of scratch tickets. They've got this bizarre system, obviously. They rattle off the designated numbers of various tickets and fork over their cash.
The obvious is: imagine how much money they'd have if they stuck the money for their (likely daily) "hobby"/obsession in a savings account.

Now mind you, I can understand the random buck to the regular lotto every once in a while. It's just a buck.

Oh well. I'll file it under the unsolved urban mysteries along with 3" fake nails and pork rinds.

3" fake nails only work...

If you layer your eye makeup on with a trowel. You see, the 3" nails make it impossible to hold a normal brush thereby enforcing the need to layer it on with tradesman tools.

This is akin to Ah-nuld requiring someone to brush his hair when he was still in the muscle man competitions. He didn't need the muscles to compete, he just liked having someone brush his hair. Therefor, by keeping his muscles so large that he couldn't bend his arm and reach the back of his head he could justify having someone brush it.

Make sense? ;)

Hey, I LIKE pork rinds... And they make a great fried chicken coating in place of flour.
