Question: Why do telephone cords on office phones get twisted up so easily?  Can't they come up with a non-twisty cord? 

Answer: They twist because you pick up the phone one way and always put it down the same way.  In the mean time you've added a twist.\n\nOn top of that, the cord stretches and unwinds.  This also causes some twist.
