Ask yourself this...

Is it because light travels faster than sound that some people appear bright until you hear them speak?

It's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow. How cold will it be?

Why do you press harder on a remote control when you know the battery is dead?

Why do banks charge you an "insufficient funds" fee on money they already know you don't have?

Why is a carrot more orange than an orange?

Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic"?

Why do they call it the Department of the Interior when they are in charge of everything outdoors?

For some people once it gets below a certain temperature,the cold is cold and numbers don't matter.

The banks want to maximize their quarterly profits.

I think that orange difference is that oranges may be picked and shipped from the orchards when they still have green tint. This done to avoid premature ripening, leading to increase of risk of spoilage and diminishing the profit margins for series of companies involved to get oranges from the orchards to the customers at the stores.
