Years ago a commercial on the radio had a list and here is what I remember:

Why can’t UPS trucks park in spaces?
What happened to preparation A through G?
Why do we park on driveways but drive on parkways?
Why is there Braille on drive up ATM machines?

Here’s some of my own:
Aren’t we all “under the weather?”
Don’t we all live paycheck to paycheck?
When you turn 50 aren’t all your moments “senior moments?”

Maybe you can add to the list!
