If two jets almost collide in mid-air, why is it called a "near miss"?

Wasn't it a "miss"???

 

[kallipolis]

It is a near "miss" when you can view the pilot(ess) in other aircraft's cockpit, handling more than the steering wheel.

 

[dw8038r2]

Or military intelligence.

Why do we:

drive on the parkway,

-and park on the driveway?


If something is upside-down,

was it downside-up before?



If it is right-side up, and gets turned over,

then isn't it wrong-side up?

 

[eddielee]

Why aren't hemorrhoids called assteroids?

 

[kallipolis]

Because they are way too behind, to be that far away.

 

[irish1]

Why aren't hemorrhoids called assteroids?

Created a new oxymoron last night... Was out caroling with a group, allowing the youngest in the group to choose the first song. At the second house (and every house thereafter) I asked the next youngest to name the "next first" song.
