The Reason We Don’t French-Kiss Blue Whales

There is a reason for everything.  Today I am sharing a small list of reasons for a few items you may not have considered:

The reason we simply say “the reason” instead of saying “the reason why:”

            —Saying “the reason why” represents redundancy in the English language.

The reason we don’t French-kiss blue whales:

            —Their tongues can weigh as much as a full-grown elephant.

The reason we like Irish music:

            —Even if you don’t like the music, it is Irish and therefore involves beer or whiskey in both the production and the listening process.

The reason Montanans call streams a “crick” instead of a “creek”:

            —Seriously...you think we need to explain ourselves?  It is our crick, Dude!

The reason for everything (the ultimate answer to everything):

            —43.  

(NOTE: For a more detailed answer to this question refer to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.  Also note that the original answer was incorrectly thought to be 42.)
