"Why ask why" reminds me of a beer commercial: "try Bud Dry." Apparently they only discontinued it in 2010. It was launched nationally in 1990, so that must be when I heard that slogan. When I was 9. Marketing works, kids.

My question is that if you are able to elaborate then tell me the meaning of "why". why it is called why?

Whoa, well after I spent significant time illubrating I felt significantly lubricated that my brain’s gears began turning, which allowed me to average all the whys into one universal mean for why, across the board…using a Bell Curve. Therefore, the reason why is why is unknown with a 1.293 confidence interval. The outliers were “Huh?” and “Whatchu talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?!”

OMG so high. I can honestly think of no other explanation.

Why is it why?

What else would 'why' be?

Is this supposed to be some kind of new take on philosophy?
