Only in America

Oh what a great place to live.

1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

2. Only in America... ..are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.

3. 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.

4. Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

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

6. Only in America......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.

7. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight. (THIS ONE ALWAYS BUGGED ME!)

8. 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'.

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

. 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

how come you have to walk to back?

drug stores sell cigarettes? Ive never heard of such a thing

Drug stores sell cigarettes and alcohol here, as well as cosmetics, office supplies and some of just about anything else.

The pharmacy is always in the back. I don't have any idea why, but that's the way it is. In Walmart, it isn't in the back, but that's the only exception that I've ever seen.

There is brail lettering in the elevator here, but there is no noise to let a blind person know when he/she gets to the right floor.

1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. My rescue service is less than 5 minutes. Who gets pizza that fast?

2. Only in America... ..are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink. This allows for children of handicapped parents to get to go have fun like others

3. 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. Yes, true, however it allows for the driveup window, and cuts down on shoplifting.

4. Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke. I never could figure this out...until I became hypoglycemic (can't handle real sugar) but it is funny, eh?

5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters. You need a nicer bank, imo

6. Only in America......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.

7. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight. (THIS ONE ALWAYS BUGGED ME!) This bugs most of us, but the companies probably own both the dogs and bun companies?

8. 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'. What do other countries use to define their governmental processes?

9. Only in America..... do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering. [b] Yes, well, not all business at the ATMs are drive in, many are walk up too..plus it allows someone who is blind to do their business without others in the car (that drove them) know what they're doing...autonomy, you know?

Always good for a laugh though! America's a good place, yeah it is!

Thank you Keb--so true and funny. I appreciated that this morning. I needed to start off my day smiling. Love ya Keb.

These are really good. Why is it that I didn't realize until this email that hotdogs and buns were sold in different quantities?

That's a bit scary for me...

I love number 6!
