Why Do We Drive on Parkways and Park on Driveways?



It's a common joke on English usage: Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? Leave it to the guys from Today I Found Out to take the question seriously and do the research to answer it. Simon Whistler explains where those various words came from.

There is a piece of property near me where the owner keeps a good sized group of goats. It is listed as "farmland" so the taxes are low. The guy is sitting on a gold mine when he decides to sell it for development. Meanwhile it is a true curiosity.

Two Texas goat ranchers are riding along the fence that separates their property. They come upon a goat with it's head stuck in the fence. Rancher Billy Bob jumps off his horse and starts f*cking the goat with gusto. Billy Bob hollers to Rancher Joe Bob "You want some of this action?", Joe Bob says "Sure do, but do I have to stick my head in the fence?"

Isn't it amazing! The government can track 2 million + GOATS but can't find the illegal aliens that enter on visas and don't leave. Maybe time to start putting tracking chips in all visa visitors.
