Only in America!


Only in America...

1. Can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

2. Are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.

3. Do drug stores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get hteir prescriptions while healthy people buy their cigarettes at the front.

4. Do people order cheeseburgers, large fries and a diet coke.

5. Do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counter.

6. Do we leave cars worth thousands of dollares in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

7. Do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

8. Do we buy hot dogs in packages or ten and buns in packages of eight.

9. Do we use the word
politics to describe the process so well: "Poli in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning blood sucking creatures.

10. Do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
