First, I'm answering #19, because it stood out to me. It's a serious/deadpan answer, but involves stuff people usually don't think about, so I think it'll still be interesting.

Dark is something we made up. It doesn't really exist. There is no such thing as "dark". What we call "dark" is merely the absence of light. Same thing with cold. You don't feel cold. No one's ever felt cold. There is no such thing as cold. When you THINK you feel cold is when you're NOT feeling heat.

***

Now, for shorter answers, still deadpan style:

1. Yes, but not for very long without dying. Of course, if you're sad enough, crying underwater may solve both your problems.
2. He does, it's just that there are no photographs and the people who draw him don't like facial hair.
3. No, chickens are too dumb to find things funny.
4. No, unless by "cross-eyed" you mean someone drilled into your head and literally crossed the 'wires' in your brain so that your eyes' reception is switched.
5. Because it's not attempted murder if you aim below the waist.
6. Selective memory.
7. Your money doesn't grow at a bank, it shrinks. Interest rates rarely keep up with the rate of inflation.
8. Wishful thinking.
9. Promoters never expected boxing fans, who are clearly more focused on the action, to read past "box".
10. Long-term planning, and/or sending a subtle message to get season passes next time.
11. Yes. The reason everything else is bad when we say it "sucks" is because other things aren't SUPPOSED to suck.
12. This Country Where We Are Right Now.
13. They used to, but stopped when scientists confirmed that doing so caused released doves to implode.
14. Different guys were working in the creative department at the time. Guess which one got fired.
15. A devious and convoluted scheme devised by people who cut corners building thin walls.
16. Because they don't start from scratch every time.
17. Only if born that way.
18. Poor man's dictionary
20. The same reason why an orange is called an orange and a carrot isn't.
21. Because words define other words, not themselves.
22. You'll be scared 3/4 to death.

1. Yes, but it gets really diluted really fast, and you'd better not sob--or have a scuba tank!
2. There are people groups that just don't grow much facial hair. And maybe he was trying to imitate the chimps by plucking out what little he did have?

Dyslexia--nope, you still read all wrong.

Sleeping like a baby--most babies can sleep through anything. Just at the wrong time!

Banks have branches so they can reach all the nuts.

No, a fly without wings would be called a "fall".

Tarzan developed slowly and did not have to shave until he was 20 years old. He obtained his first knife at the age of 10, and generally was armed with a knife thereafter, with which he shaved.

These are all rhetorical questions, and they're funny enough without an answer, however...

4) No, you would have a serious vision problem.
19) Dark is the absence of light, and has no speed.
22) If you halve your life twice, then you are still alive but with 1/4 of your life left. You can halve your live infinitely many times and still be alive.

Also, I have a question of my own. If you're not supposed to drink and drive, then why do bars have parking lots?
