Fun with words

I have some 'pondering' questions. 

• If you cease to be, then come alive, are you deceased?
• How do you get off a non-stop flight?
  
• Why do they call dwellings stuck together apartments?
  
• Isn't it odd that to tell time, you look at the hands on the face on your wrist?
  
• Can you orient yourself out west?
  
• Why are there inter-states in hawaii?
  
• Is it considered a bargain to by a violin with no strings attached?
