- Why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
- Why do you slow down to go over a speed bump?
- Why, when traffic moves so slowly, do they call it rush hour?
- Why do you play at a recital and recite at a play?
- Why do you have a hot water heater? (hot water doesn't need heating)
- If the rooms are so close together, why do they call them apartments?
- Why do cars carry shipments and ships carry cargo?
How about these...
- Why do flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?
- Why are famous and infamous not opposites?
- Why is a caregiver and a caretaker the same thing?
- Why do quite a lot and quite a few mean the same thing?
- To lift up and to uplift mean the same, so why are set up and upset opposites?
