Re: Why ?
In a Drugstore, we are trying to cause impulse buying as the costomer comes back to the Pharmacy, and then goes back out. The cigarettes are located near the front door because there is always a cashier there to watch out for shoplifting on the tobacco products. If someone has a difficulty walking, we do have a drive-thru on most stores.

Re: Why ?
The skin is living, and the harmful UV rays cause melanin production to increase in an attempt to minimize the damage. Hair is not alive once it is out of the root. The lightening effect is just visible breakdown.

Re: Why ?
My why ? is no where as humorous as the above ones but how about the english language spelling - pronunciations anomalies ?
I know it has something to do with the post norman conquest era contributions to the language but why are similarly spelled words pronounced differently?
tough and rough but then there is dough......
laughter and slaughter and daughter are all said subtly different....
leave it to the frenchers to mess-up every thing they influence....them goomers can't even use a consonant properly but pronounce them like vowels !

It’s amazing how garages have changed over the last 30 years. From parking cars inside to a storage container of junk that is never used. Todd3/leg

Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice' ?
Lowered expectations? Sorry AJMD.
You must be channeling George Carlin. "Why do we drive on a parkway but park on a driveway?" Those sound like him.
