Only In America
« on: June 15, 2004, 10:28:02 AM »
Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in America.....do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and adiet coke.

Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

This came to me while chopping wood the other day. You've heard don't sweat the small stuff. I say save it for later and use it for kindling

That is truly funny, especially the drive up atm!
Yesterday is history.
   Tomorrow a mystery.
      Today is a gift.
          That is why it is called the present.

You always make us think Bob although you should have posted that one as Joker because it is funny too. The ATM one, a couple of years ago my Mom got a picture of one of the first ones and sent it in to Jay Leno and it aired on the Tonight Show (you know on Mondays or whatever day it is when he does headlines)!
And the hot dog thing, like on Father of the Bride when he gets thrown in jail for opening the buns and taking some out, "because some jerk at the hot dog place and some big wig at the bun factory decided to get together and rip off the American public. But they're not going to rip off this American anymore" (ok so maybe not the EXACT lines from the movie but give me some credit I am pretty close!)
Thanks Bob! /|\\
Everything happens for a reason!
