There are 10 hot dogs in a package, but hot dog buns come in a package of 8. Why????

A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y.

Is there a word that uses Y as a vowel?

Statistics show that on the average, two hot dogs slip off the girl, hence needing two less buns.

That's so you can eat a couple while they are cooking.

Or if the wheel is turned a certain percentge, the turn signal automatically came on.

Or have a hand come out of the steering wheel and slap them!

I believe it was International, with some of the straight trucks, that have a sensor in the front bumper to "sense" the dotted line, or the white line on the right. If you try to cross the line without using your turn signal, there is a loud, annoying BEEPING sound. If you use your turn signal, there is no sound. If they can do this for trucks, they can certainly do it for cars.

Or... Just have the AIR-BAG inflate....
