Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor when you can't drink and drive?
Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds? Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes? Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there? _____________________

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? Because they were paid for with federal funding  _____________________

Enigma - "Why! ..." I was childish and unfair To you, my only friend I regret, but now it's too late I can't show you any more The things I've learned from you Cause life just took you away I'm asking why I'm asking why Nobody gives an answer I'm just asking why But someday we'll meet again And I'll ask you I'll ask you why Why it has to be like this I'm asking you why Please give me an answer Many years and stupid fights Till we accept to see How it was and it'll always be Why it has to be like this Why we don't realize Why we're too blind to see the one Who's always on our side I'm asking why I'm asking why Nobody gives an answer I'm just asking why Just tell me why Why it has to be like this That the good ones disappear I'm asking you why I'm asking why I'm asking why Nobody gives an answer I'm just asking why I'm asking why _____________________

Why? Did they bribe them with pineapples o.0? http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_129.html in the late 1950s Hawaiian officials had the same thought you did (about the interstates, I mean; we'll ignore the business about pizzas). But they didn't think it was so funny. In fact they were quite concerned that some literal-minded bureaucrat was going to say they weren't eligible for federal interstate highway money merely because there was this thing called an ocean separating them from the rest of the country. They were probably right to worry. Early federal highway legislation said the interstate system "shall be designated within the continental United States," thereby excluding islands. But Hawaiians pointed out that one of the purposes of the interstate system was to strengthen national defense, and that Hawaii (specifically, the island of Oahu) was crammed with military installations that needed to be connected by good roads. Congress evidently saw the wisdom of this and dealt with the matter in the Hawaii Omnibus Act of 1960, which took care of various postadmission loose ends. Right after a section dealing with the Opium Poppy Control Act and shortly before a passage headed Purchases of Typewriters, they stuck in some language deleting the continental U.S. requirement and authorizing $12 million for Hawaiian roads. Three routes were subsequently approved and built, with the result that Hawaii now has more miles of interstate than Delaware (48 vs. 40.6). Meanwhile, Alaska, despite its unquestionable location on the mainland, has no miles of interstate at all and has to struggle along with dogsleds and snowshoes. Just shows you life isn't fair, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and you can't be deterred by mere words when it comes to grabbing federal bucks. _____________________

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, And rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, The lovers, the dreamers and me. Who said that every wish would be heard and answered When wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it, And look what it's done so far. What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, The lovers, the dreamers, and me. All of us under its spell, We know that it's probably magic... ... Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name. ... Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same I've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm s'posed to be... Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, The lovers, the dreamers, and me. _____________________

Why? Did they bribe them with pineapples o.0? If you look at the interstate hiways in Hawaii, you will see that they begin and end at military bases. There is a reason for this. It is a way to get federal funding for them. _____________________
