Prompt:
The physicist Richard Feynman was once asked by a journalist what the feeling was when magnets repelled each other. Taking the journalist's grasp of physics in mind, Feynman replied, "Magnets repel each other." The journalist pressed, "Well, why?" Feynman then explained, in entertaining fashion, Aunt Minnie going to the hospital  and why "why" is such a difficult question to answer--he eventually gets to the magnets as well.  You can watch the full exchange here (7-minutes).

Your prompt, should you accept it, is to answer a why question in entertaining fashion.
