Perhaps because in the old days of bath tubs, to rinse oneself off, a clean jug of water was 'poured' over one's head?

 

lol...twice over, Stella!  

 

I would imagine that since beggars would not have any form of transport

and would probably be constantly wishing for better days, then they would be

as rich or richer than those who had need of nothing.

 

 

Why is it when you have 'a real bad hair day' everyone says how  nice it looks?

 

 

Because they don't really want to say what it looks like lol.

 

What is meant between a rock and a hard place?

because, maybe someone once did try to swing a cat in a room?? And I hope they got done for animal cruelty as well!! lol.

 

Why do people usually say "if you ask you dont get"...

 

Well people have said that to me anyway lol dont know about anyone else?

 

Can you answer it anyways? lol

My fanciful reply would be 'that it is the opposite of a happy expression' when one's mouth is turned upwards.

Why is it that when two buses due 10 minutes apart are late ...that they arrive together, half an hour after the first was due and 'with' the third one, which is spot on time?

the first two, probably an older vintage were caught napping buy the young one ...a little like the hare and the tortoise, and they tried to impress they still have what it takes by gate crashing on the youngsters time schedule making claim that they are still in the running LOL!

kind of pattern?

I have read this in one of our books on 'the sky at night' but may not get it right...

 

it has something to do with a star which links with the sun during the hottest part of the year (July and August) and the star is called 'Dog'? And the credit for the hot weather at that time of year was given to that star a long time ago.

 

 

Which brings me to..."Why do people say it is raining 'cats and dogs'"?

Because it is a heavy downpour and you have to fight your way scratching and biting through the throng lol.

 

Why do people say, a penny for your thoughts?
