kcjenkins Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one child. "No," said another. "He's just for good luck.." A third child brought the argument to a close."They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants." 6 Quote

Catherine Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 THIS one I can answer: "Why are there interstate freeways in Hawaii?" It has nothing to do with travelling between states. It means the highway meets the specifications for the Eisenhower Insterstate Highway System in terms of grade, width, height of overpasses, tightness of curves -- -all so that they can be used to transport ICBM's (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles). It's a standards designation from the height of the Cold War. 1 Quote
