I LOVE to read the comics in the newspaper because they do a great job of making any life situation light hearted no matter how serious or daunting the situation originally was. Plus it is the only section of the newspaper that is not full of bad news such as deaths, killings, down falling economy, unemployment, etc. I was reading the comics (funnies as some newspapers call them) and one comic got me thinking. Most comics are not tremendously thought provoking but this one got me thinking about silly things:
Why do people call slacks a 'pair of pants'?
If it is because of the two legs, then why not call a shirt a 'pair of shirts' due to the two arms?
Why do we call lower undergarments a 'pair of underwear'?
Why not call upper undergarments a 'pair of bra'?
Why do people say 'act naturally'? (acting is not natural?)
