I love that sorta shit. Here's some more I found on Google:

"The English Language. Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?. Let?s face it. English is a crazy language. There is no egg in the eggplant No ham in the hamburger. And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England. French fries were not invented in France. We sometimes 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. If writers write, how come fingers don?t fing. If the plural of tooth is teeth. Shouldn?t the plural of phone booth be phone beeth, If the teacher taught, Why didn?t the preacher praught. If a vegetarian eats vegetables. What the does a humanitarian eat? Why do people recite at a play, Yet play at a recital? Park on driveways and Drive on parkways. 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 in a form by filling it out. And a bell is only heard once it goes! English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (Which of course isn?t a race at all) That is why when the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out they are invisible, and why it is that when I wind up my watch it starts, but when I wind up this observation, it ends."

Heres a few more good ones.

If brother becomes Brethren, why doesn't mother become Methren?

If tooth becomes teeth, why doesn't booth become beeth?

If one goose becomes two geese, why doesn't one moose become two meese?
(Only in the cartoon Pixie and Dixie but refers to mice)

If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet,

And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

And Grocers don't groce and Hammers don't ham?

But an Ox in the plural never becomes oxes. (It becomes Oxen).

But it's impossible for a single house to become a whole block of hice. (It becomes houses).

Although the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, we must be grateful for small mercies of the language that the feminine pronouns after 'She' don't become 'Shis' and 'Shim'.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

He could lead if he could only get the lead out.

They were too close to the door to close it.

I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in which your house can burn up as it burns down,
in which you fill in a form by filling it out
and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

It's not ridiculous, but entirely sensible to ship by truck and send cargo by ship.

We are a strange lot to have noses that run and feet that smell.

The buck does funny things when the does are present.

I was proven right that I had the right of way.

Why is it that whether you sit down or sit up, the results are the same?

If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

If people from Poland are called "Poles," why aren't people from Holland called "Holes?

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

The human race has been running for a great many centuries now - but we're not tired yet.

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

The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
