Duh...

The other day in class my finance teacher said "demand and supply" and it was so awkward that it hurt my ears.  I don't make up the rules...but for some reason everyone says supply and demand.  Why in that order?  I have no idea!  At this point, saying it the other way just seems absurd.  As I think about which word should come first...its really just the whole "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" thing.  Without demand, there is no reason for supply..and without a supply...well, you end up with the "wishing in one hand and pooping in the other...see which hand fills up first" situation.

This thought lead me to think of other A and B word combinations...where B and A combinations seem crazy.  Now some of these make sense and some don't....but either way, I've listed some of my favorite combinations backwards.  Feel free to comment with other fun combination.  Please remember, we're running a "work safe" blog...so no vulgarity.
