There are common concepts, sayings and objects that we take for granted that actually make little or no sense. 

For example:

"A watched pot never boils." 
Of course they don't.  But the water does... eventually.

"Vacuum cleaners are a housekeepers best friend."
No they're not.  First of all, houses are not vacuums, and secondly, vacuums are not dirty.

Others?

    An old southern guy used to love to use this analogy.  I've never understood it...

    A bird in a hand is worth two in a Bush. Although I just had to check that is the right saying and when the meaning was described it actually made sense.  I guess I just never knew what it meant before.

    That one makes perfect sense, it's just annoying.

    I totally agree.  Unless I say it.  :lol:

    (Blame it on my wife.  She says that fairly often and after being around her for almost 20 years, I find myself doing the same... it's really not my favorite saying!)
