Questions For The Universe

*  How can a ten-pound cat produce 15 pounds of fur?

*  Why did I have to explain to a mutual fund company "customer service" representative what cost basis means and why one would need that for tax purposes?  Am I really their only client, or an I the only client whom they send the IRS 1099 forms about?

*  If the instructions on seed packets have all these fussy conditions listed that are required for growing, why do the plants come up wherever the heck they want the next year with no help from me?

*  How old must I be before I start doing laundry before  the only other option is to go naked?

*  I've been reading a gardening book, and it says that--among other things--dried blood can be added to your compost bin.  WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE GARDENING????????????

*  If I was required to take a class in Logic in college, why wasn't everyone?  Is there really any field where it makes more sense to be illogical (besides working at Fox, that is)?

I know the answer to #1: "easily". I'm so tempted to send out "Happy Shedding Season" greeting cards for Easter. :-))

As for #4, if you ever find out, please let me know. I'm over 40 and still too young. I thought it was hereditary (grandmom never being good at the laundry game) but my mom not only gets all her laundry done in record time but also loves to iron, and to my best knowledge, she's not adopted.
