Recently I received an e-mail message that was entitled “Things I Really Don’t Understand.” It had a list of questions for which there seems to be no clear-cut answer. Here are a few of them:

• Why do doctors and lawyers call what they do practice?
• Why is abbreviation such a long word?
• Why is it that when you’re driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on your radio?
• Why is a boxing ring square?
• What was the best thing before sliced bread?
• How do they get the deer to cross the highway at those yellow signs?
• How did a fool and his money get together in the first place?
