I think I could, if I only knew how to begin. For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
Courtesy while you're thinking what to say. It saves time.

Ever wonder why your keyboard isn't in alphabetical order? Apparently, back when typewriters were first invented, they were. A problem arose when people would type so fast that the individual "sticks" for each letter would get entangled, and so the solution was to jumble up the letters. QWERTY, indeed!

Why do sailors refer to the place they go to relieve themselves as "The Head"?
In the days of sailing ships, the wind blows from the stern towards the bow (the head of the ship), thus blowing the stench out to sea. A strategic location for the bathroom.

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on.
Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."
Also....
Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented.
It was ruled "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

So you can't wait until the pizza slice has cooled - tried to eat it too hot and burned the roof of your mouth. To coat the burn, fill your mouth with whipped cream and press it gently against the roof of your mouth with your tongue - keep repeating until your moth feels better.
