The English Language.

1. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

2. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

3. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

4.Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?

5. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

6. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

7. When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

8. “I am” is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

My favorite is #8.  I'm enjoying a "life sentence" (52 years so far) and If it is considered prison, sentence me again!  I would say "I do" a million times over!
