Not to be mean, but why, out of a thread full of oxymorons, did you pick this one to question?

No, I'm just saying that you should be able to do that with most oxymorons, ie: How can ice be hot?  How can grief be good?  How can a rock be soft?  How can something pretty be ugly?

So what I was wondering is why that one struck you when none of the others did.

It's an oxymoron. It's not supposed to make sense.
