Why does my local hospital have a notice giving details of parking arrangements for wheelchair-using patients half way up a flight of stairs?

Because you're a dirty pirate hooker.

Other mysteries include:

Why does a computer or car or any other "critical" object refuse to work when you need it at the most urgent time possible?

Why is it that if you put two cords together, or even if it's a single cord, you can be certain they'll get tangled up?

Why does junk always self-replicate itself to fill any given space when you don't contribute to it?

Why does traffic always suddenly appear from nowhere when you're trying to cross the road?

Why is it that when you change your lottery numbers, your old numbers are virtually guaranteed to come up the following draw?

What happens if you drop a cat with a piece of toast buttered-side-up tied to its back?

The cat ceases to exist and the toast is rammed up your bum.

Someone's been listening to 'Quote Unquote' :lol:!

Why does 'Trueswitch', the software that 'Microsoft' "teamed-up with [I think they said]" to change a '…@hotmail.com' to a '…@hotmail.co.uk' have in its terms and conditions "Open to residents of the U.S. only"‽

When I have urgent computer-work, I tend to rush, and when I'm on my desktop, with 'Windows 98 SE' os, it makes my desktop crash.

Why do people say “Quad bike” and “Double prime”—it is like saying a “three-sided square”, oh wait they do, “Tri-square”?!

Why do your posts consist of bizarre formatting and characters like this one:



What the heck is that, and why do you do it?

I'm a demanding man and I want some answers.

Rob D.E.L. Monte and our Belgian friend Corin are both punctilious about punctuation.

Perhaps they are in some way related?

I think we should be told.

Looks like a perfectly ordinary, common or garden interrobang to me. What's the problem‽

Indeed—(Em Dash)Is there a problem‽(Interrobang!)

Sorry, does using the proper punctuation, like '‽' as opposed to '?!', or a dash as opposed to a hypen-minus, or an ellipsis as opposed to three-dots corrupt the system, or something technical (above me :s)? Would you like me to stop? If so, does this ban extend to TVF?

It's possible that not being a pedantic cretin would help.
