Why???

Why is the word "abbreviation" so long?

Why do they call a Doctor's job a "practice"?? Once he gets out of medical school, shouldn't he be done practicing?

Why is cereal, cereal, and not soup?

Why is a hot dog not called a sandwich???

    I certainly can't enlighten you. I am still working on why is a beef patty a hamburger? Also why is it a pair of pants when there is only one garment? But rest assured I will give this subject all the consideration it is due. ;) Bob

    Well, 'hamburger' is easy enough; it was invented in Hamburg, Germany.  Just like the frankfurter was invented in Frankfort Germany.  And wieners were invented in Vienna.
    The one I never got was why you drive on the "parkway", but you park on the "driveway".
    I'll give you the Hamburg connection but technically shouldn't we call it a Hamburg patty? I know you are familiar with Koegel Viennas but where did the term hot dog come from? Perhaps someone ate one and said " Hot Dog!" that's tasty! 😊 Bob

    Well then, why is there air? Well, like Brother Dave Gardner said; to blow up balloons, basketballs, and footballs!
