Non long distance hikers often ask me, "what do you think about while you're out there for all thos miles?"

I never really had a good answer. So I decided that for each long hike I do in the future, I will submit 1 weird thought or question at the end of each daily journal entry. I have been collecting these entries for several months, but one came up yesterday while I was hiking that seems to occur on every trail no matter where I do my hiking. You could say this first question was encountered during my 1992 AT thru hike. Here is the weird(or not so weird) question:

--If you are already higher in elevation than a place you have to cross( a river, RxR tracks, hwy, etc), why do the trail builders make you ascend even more before you descend to cross that feature? In other words, why do they make you go up to go down?

Here is a few more non trail related:

--If Hawaii is considered a vacation destination, then where do the local Hawaiians go on vacation?
--If blood spills, what does it sound like?
--Why is it that in science fiction stories or movies/TV shows, the first thing to stop working or get damaged on a ship is the hyper drive engines? And why don't they put strong shields around the hyper drive?
--On Half and half cartons are there pictures of missing transvestites?
--If a model puts out a book on dieting, would it be rather thin?
--Is there really not a single word that rhymes with orange?
--Why do people that drive to the gym circle round and round the parking lot to find the closest spot to the entrance to park?
--Will we be so politically correct in the future that parents will say, “ My kids don’t read Winnie the Pooh! He is half naked”.
--Is there any song Weird Al won’t parody?
--If marijuana in rolling papers is called a joint, then why is tobacco in rolling papers called a cigarette?
--In Star Trek universe if they can extend life beyond 100 years why can’t they cure baldness?
--If a person suffers from Torrents Syndrome yet doesn’t know swear words, what would they say?
--If a person is going to repeat something, why do they say “I repeat”?
--Why do women buy/wear earrings that can be 3 inches across, then when they turn their heas it slaps them in the ace?
--Why do people wear their best for church?
--Ever known anyone that gets high all the time say no to this question: “Hey, wanna get high?”
--Why do some men stand so close to urinals?
--Why is a near plane collision called a near miss?
--IF THEY CAN PAY SOMEONE TO NAME WINTER STORMS WHY CAN’T THEY USE ONE TERM TO CLASSIFY CONDITIONS IN THE SKY? Ex: partly cloudy is same as mostly sunny
--If Adam and Eve had Cain, Abel and Seth, one brother killed the other, how did they populate the earth?
--What purpose do you celebrate your birthday: the year that just passed, the year that is coming or the date you were born?

Okay, okay that's enough. But I do have more if you like these.

Anybody have any of their own? Let's hear them!!

When they ask you "What three things would you bring to a deserted island?" why doesn't anyone say "BOAT", "BOAT ENGINE", "GASOLINE"?

Do Lipton tea employees take coffee breaks?

Why is it good to be a Daddy's girl, but bad to be a Momma's boy?

"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant?

--If Hawaii is considered a vacation destination, then where do the local Hawaiians go on vacation?

I can answer that one. When Hawaiians go on vacation they go where the non-Hawaiian vacationers aren't and mostly stay right in Hawaii, sometimes to another island though to visit friends and family. You must understand that many Hawaiians live a vacation lifestyle so many feel no need to set aside a special "two weeks" to go on a so called vacation as you are probably defining it. When Hawaiians(of Polynesians descent) do decide to take that week or two off they often go to Las Vegas to gamble. Surprisingly, there are quite a few Hawaiians in Alaska too. Serious.

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adulthood?

If a siamese twin commits a crime, how do you punish them?

Why sterilize the site of a person getting a lethal injection?

If the president carries a wallet, would it have any cash?

Why are do so few people in the bible have last names?

Why is it that every time someone sees something on a chip, or stain, or piece of toast, it's always Jesus, Mary or God but not anything satanic?

Are there womens bathrooms in a gay bar? What about a mens room in a lesbian bar?

At the drive thru of a bank, why is there braille?

How did Walt Disney figure out how to make people pay to stand in lines all day and then come back for more the next day?

WD largely didn't have this problem in his time. Waiting for LONG durations in lines is a more recent occurrence. Where he built WD World in Orlando was in orange orchard rural farm country, nothing like the city that it has become today. Many who he sought financial support from thought he was crazy contemplating building a theme park where he did. Obviously, they were wrong.

Waiting at Walt Disney World is not a new thing. The park opened in 1971. My family visited in 1973, there were long lines then. As I remember, traffic outside the park was almost nonexistent then.

Perhaps you are hiking in the summer time when all the leaves are on the trees and you can't see the view that the trail builder had in mind when he had you move to higher elevation...its also possible that the terrain dictated a rise because there was no other convenient path from point A to B, or its also possible that the trail follows a thin corridor that doesn't leave many options for routing the trail.

I often ponder about somehow arriving on an unpopulated earth with a circle of friends and acquaintances, and we get the task of rebuilding civilization. It's not a matter of traveling to a post-apolocalyptic city and scavenging off the remnants. It's more like a do-over of coming off Noah's ark after the Great Flood. We have the things we're carrying, and the knowledge and skills of the 21st century. Yeah, I know it's not funny for the humor forum, but that's what I think about.

very weak test. Absolutly no evidence that humans came from other animals. question 10. If there was it would make history. No missing link ever found.
This definitely belongs in the humor forum.

Non long distance hikers often ask me, "what do you think about while you're out there for all thos miles?"

I never really had a good answer. So I decided that for each long hike I do in the future, I will submit 1 weird thought or question at the end of each daily journal entry. I have been collecting these entries for several months, but one came up yesterday while I was hiking that seems to occur on every trail no matter where I do my hiking. You could say this first question was encountered during my 1992 AT thru hike. Here is the weird(or not so weird) question:

--If you are already higher in elevation than a place you have to cross( a river, RxR tracks, hwy, etc), why do the trail builders make you ascend even more before you descend to cross that feature? In other words, why do they make you go up to go down?

Here is a few more non trail related:

--If Hawaii is considered a vacation destination, then where do the local Hawaiians go on vacation?
--If blood spills, what does it sound like?
--Why is it that in science fiction stories or movies/TV shows, the first thing to stop working or get damaged on a ship is the hyper drive engines? And why don't they put strong shields around the hyper drive?
--On Half and half cartons are there pictures of missing transvestites?
--If a model puts out a book on dieting, would it be rather thin?
--Is there really not a single word that rhymes with orange?
--Why do people that drive to the gym circle round and round the parking lot to find the closest spot to the entrance to park?
--Will we be so politically correct in the future that parents will say, “ My kids don’t read Winnie the Pooh! He is half naked”.
--Is there any song Weird Al won’t parody?
--If marijuana in rolling papers is called a joint, then why is tobacco in rolling papers called a cigarette?
--In Star Trek universe if they can extend life beyond 100 years why can’t they cure baldness?
--If a person suffers from Torrents Syndrome yet doesn’t know swear words, what would they say?
--If a person is going to repeat something, why do they say “I repeat”?
--Why do women buy/wear earrings that can be 3 inches across, then when they turn their heas it slaps them in the ace?
--Why do people wear their best for church?
--Ever known anyone that gets high all the time say no to this question: “Hey, wanna get high?”
--Why do some men stand so close to urinals?
--Why is a near plane collision called a near miss?
--IF THEY CAN PAY SOMEONE TO NAME WINTER STORMS WHY CAN’T THEY USE ONE TERM TO CLASSIFY CONDITIONS IN THE SKY? Ex: partly cloudy is same as mostly sunny
--If Adam and Eve had Cain, Abel and Seth, one brother killed the other, how did they populate the earth?
--What purpose do you celebrate your birthday: the year that just passed, the year that is coming or the date you were born?

Okay, okay that's enough. But I do have more if you like these.

Anybody have any of their own? Let's hear them!!

What I would really love to see are the answers to all of your questions!! That would be a hoot!

Of course there is. If Darwin could see our fossil record, he would be totally convinced he was right. The problem is that everytime we wind a "missing link" we still see a gap..... (and taht's the way it will always be).

When a person gets arrested, spends time in jail b/c they cannot post bail, goes to trial and is convicted and sent to prsion, what happens to all their belongings, property, pets, etc?

When we sneeze, we say, "God bless you". What is said if god sneezes?

If people say they have a bad cold, would anyone ever say they have a good one?

If a hen and a half laid an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a cricket with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

Since a hen lays an egg about every 30 hours, that part of your equation is pretty close!

Not one missing link has ever been found...not one there should be a missing link for each phase of transition from one species to the next. Not one has ever been found. That is what I find humorous as I walk the trail.

Many of my middle school classmates proposed that very theory to explain my personality and behavior.
