Oxymorons to Spare

Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead? 

Why do we put suits in garment bags and garments in a suitcase? 

How come abbreviated is such a long word?  

Why do we wash bath towels? Aren’t we clean when we use them? 

Why doesn’t glue stick to the inside of the bottle? 

Why do they call it a TV set when you only have one? 

Christmas : What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks?

Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
