3. Why can’t women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

You might expect this to lead to a proportional reduction in the size of their brains, but no, women compensate for the lesser ‘bore’ by pumping the blood round the head with the musculature of the lower jaw. This is why women can’t do anything with their mouths closed!
