Cos many, many, many years ago, the captain of a ship called "The Old Black Dog" used to carry gophers to far lands, and over the years the phrase "Avast behind me hearties, we is carryin' gophers" got shortened to "carry gophs" then to "car gophs" then to "cargo". Simple really.
About the same time, the roads in England were very lumpy and bumpy, and to travel by land was considered a punishment. This, over the years, became known by commoners who couldn't speak the "Queen's Hinglish", as "punishipments", and eventually shortened to "'shipments".
I hope this answers your question -z-.
My question is..... Why when I'm in my deepest, most restful sleep, does Mrs. PEST wake me up complaining about my snoring?

Because that's when you snore the loudest.
Why gophers?
B/c they are furry... :P
Why do you park on a " Drive Way" but drive on a "Park Way"...?
- TT....my anti-drug. -
ROFL Pest. Great answer - explains a lot :)
-Z-
Actually, you do drive into your driveway, before you park. As a trucker, I can't drive on parkways.
The words "shipments" and "cargo" are commonly used in both sea and land deliveries.

Well an anagram of her name reveals it's true: "Yeah ask Mel"
Then again, you could also get: "Male has key" so go figure.
"Shake my ale" it's a "leaky shame"

Why is 'palindrome' not spelt the same backwards as it is forwards?
-Z-
Edit:
Curiously, upon investigation, KillingBrainCells has some hidden meaning too.. Something about "Nickel grills in lab" and a "reclining silk ball" (not sure how that works, but sounds interesting) and "ill gerbil lacks inn" (could explain what happened to Gerbil Of Death) and something about an "ill bra licking lens" as well.

That is a good question, -z-, but even so, there is much to learn from our friend palindrome. For example, did you know that:
"Lime on a PDR" "paled on rim?" Clearly, you should keep your margaritas away from your Physicians Desk Reference. Also, note that "drip a melon," then "redo in palm." These are most likely directions for some sort of herbal remedy. There is more than helpful advice hidden in this word, however. Look at these warnings concealed within:
"ireland mop" "plan more die." I really think the SAS should take note of this one. Jay, do you have a basement?
And who can ignore "dire napolm." Now I believe this is a simple error in spelling; nevertheless, we should clearly be wary of our friend :S
As for my question, I think I'll let our subliminal prophet handle that for me as well: "do plane rim" "nap more lid?" or "do lip mane" "dial on perm?" That's a toughy.
PS - z, I couldn't find much in the way of hidden messages in your name. Sorry.
In answer to your first question, Yes I do have a basement...but what has that got to do with anything? Lol sorry I kind of skimmed through all of ^ and found my name :p then went back and read it all but still dont know why me having a basement is anything to do with it :P
(I do not have a question as ^ still has a question left so you guys can answer that) lol
The worst thing ever invented is either Homework, School, Principal Hector (hes so damn fat.....hehehe) or...........TOILETS XD
Leader of the Vigilante Tanks! May Vigilance Carry On!
(Umm that question was answered on page 1......this is page 7...try scrolling down lol also you didnt even leave a quesiton so yet again were back to Persesus's quesiotn :P ^^^)
Jay, don't worry too much about deciphering my post. I was mostly just having fun with anagrams. Since the above question is complete and utter nonsense, here's a better one:
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
The South African swallow?

If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? :P
(I've been asked this ten times to day so I'm asking this lol.
Yes, because it makes a sound. = P
What Plant smells the worst?
Elite Agent And Proud Member of the Terror Squad.
Correctly speaking yes ofcorse it will make a sound....its logical that if every tree that has ever fallen with people around has made a sound, so will the tree that falls without anyone around. As the only thing that has changed is the people not there....but from knowledge and a bit of sense, we know that the tree will always make a sound wether there is anyone there to hear it or not.
Why havnt we had any good riddles on here lately?

Why does the food in McDonalds never look like the pictures of it above the counter?
Because the pictures of it above the counter have had professional teams airbrushing and painting ON the actual food before taking photo's of it + the fact that it hasn't been made by spotty teenagers who have a bad habit of gobbing in all the food.
Mcdonalds "fries" aren't made of potato, so what are they made of?
Hardened grease.

Why am I wearing two different brands of contacts right now? :P
It's a weirdly twisted experiment to see which one you like better... The plan is to wear them the other way around when this "pair" gets dirty, switching left and right as a control measure.
Why does my daughter's dog never listen?
The same reason your daughter doesnt listen :P
Actually I am wearing 2 different brands of contacts because the eye doctor ran out of my ussual brand in the Rx of my left eye. Interestingly enough, my eyes have different Rx's. My right eye is the better one :P
How many boards would the Mongols hoard if the Mongol hordes got bored?

2 cowboys loved the sheriff's daughter, but the sheriff hates them so he said "whoever's horse crosses last in a race between here and oregon will marry my daughter." confused, the 2 cowboys asked the wise man of the mountain and told them about this, then the wise man said 4 words. The cowboys did what he said and began to race.
What did the wise man say?

A man walks out of a grocery store. It is not lit, he has no flashlight, it's a new moon with a pitch black sky and clouds covering the stars, and his car is jet black, parked about 1000 feet away from him.
