English is a stupid language.

there is no egg in the eggplant,

no ham in the Hamburger,

and neither pine nor apple in the pineapple,

and French fries were not invented in France.

We sometime take English for granted,

but if we examine its paradoxes, we find that

quicksand takes you down slowly„

boxing rings are square,

and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

How can

the weather be as hot as hell on one day, and as cold as hell, on another?

you have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language where a house can burn up as it burns down,

and in which you fill out a form, by filling it in.
