Here are a few of mine:

-The movie industry citing gross box office receipts, which then have to be adjusted (and poorly) for inflation, instead of ticket sales.

- Amelia Earhart luggage.

-Why, when the book Bridge Over The River Kwai was made into a movie, was the title changed to Bridge On The River Kwai?

-Bruce Jenner in 1976 vs. Bruce Jenner today.

-Cereal boxes note that the contents settled on transport to explain why the box is so much bigger than it needs to be. Yet when I pour the contents into another bowl, then back into the original container, it still doesn't reach the top. Huh?

The person who comes and wants money because they [sic] have a horrific cancer situation in the United States, that's not our focus. We can say, if we'd spend $20,000 helping that person, that's $20,000 that doesn't go to buying life-saving vaccines to [sic] these kids that have zero voice in the developing world.
