Why

Why do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front?
Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke?
Why do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters?
Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage?
Why do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering?
Why does the sun lighten our hair but darken our skin?  
Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?  
Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?  
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavour, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?  
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavoured cat food?  
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?  
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?  
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?  
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?  

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Why do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering? Because it is cheaper to make all ATMs with the same keypad. This way one machine can manufacture all keypads, rather than pay extra for another machine and facilities.
