Why does an alarm go off by going on?

A ponderable with the humor in the vein of George Carlin, Steven Wright and Demetri Martin:  In response to last week’s question, “Why does an alarm go off by going on?”, my comedic friend Bruce responded, “I wouldn’t know. My alarm goes to snooze.” 

My cousin’s brother-in-law’s wife, OK, we refer to her as Celina, sounded off this week, asking “after the alarm goes off and after you are awake, do you turn it off?” To this, my birthday bud Jon queried, “And then you shut it off. So did it go off, or did you make it go off?” Note: Celina “likes to default back to her European traditions and prefers to open the alarm clock and then to close the alarm clock.”

My dad’s beach buddy Bob concluded, “because it can never go off if you never turn it on.” In agreeing with this, my change management guru Marya added, “and that makes for one interesting day! ” My sailing friend Kurt observed, “I can think of several things that go off by getting turn on.”

My friend Royce concluded that this is a result of “a bad installation.”

My sailing and writing friend Rich observed, “I don't know, but when the alarm goes on too long, my wife goes off.”

Please share your thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' ”:

        Is it good if a vacuum really sucks? 

Live well...laugh often and heartily…. have a good week and never regret anything that made you smile!
