ENGLISH IS A FUNNY LANGUAGE

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

We have noses that run and feet that smell.

We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.

While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

We fill in a form by filling it out,
And an alarm goes off by going on.

We find that quicksand can work slowly,

The boxing ‘rings’ are ‘square’.

There is neither egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; 
there is neither apple nor pine in pineapple. 
English muffins weren't invented in England.

If Father is Pop, Thank GOD Mother isn’t called Mop…
