Only in America
 
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 vault 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.

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's with Braille
lettering.

Oh man, I'm glad you said "SOME", because I was going to have to get all defensive. (Were you driving behind me this morning???)

Dave Barry once said, '' Miami is the only place they will pass you in the car wash!" too funny

Yes, Hebrew National Beef Franks are in my frig right now ready

lot a processed meat but those are really tasty!

Blessings,

Why are they called Hebrew? I've never heard of them.

Because they're Kosher? Just a guess.

The only diff between Hebrew National and other beef dogs is really just the "Kosher" sticker....if they are still doing that. Nathans I think used to be kosher too but last time I looked they lacked the seal. HN are very expensive dogs compared to others

There's nothing odd about a handicap spot in front of an Ice rink

Not really. People come to watch games, and some folks who can't walk well can still skate... It still made me laugh though. I'm quite sacrilegious sometimes.

Oh does THIS bring back a nightmarish incident, when I was pregnant with my 2nd son I got the WORST bladder infection sooo bad I could BARELY walk., and the pharmacy people, possibly at doctors orders(?) said that it HAD TO BE only ME to pick up the prescription so I had to WALK all the way back to the back to get it (no drive thru at that pharmacy either waaay back then they weren't as automatic as they are now) and I distinctly remember like it was yesterday, taking every single precious step s l o w l y
hurting very very much all the way there, it took 4ever! I think that was a very mean thing to do to me. I dont' know what was so special about that particular medicine that it had to be only the sick one to sign for it.

This was to be funny stuff but I'm sure it wasn't funny to you then.

No it was initially funny but it hit close to home, too.
It is IRONIC that only in America presumably, things like this happen not necessarily on purpose., either.

I think this thread is funny, but I can't think of anything to go along with it. Maybe you or someone else can.

lol well i can think of several, but they would mostly only upset people who are secure in their disillusion, imo...

Only in America do we combine "One nation under God" and "pledging allegiance to a flag," most likely. etc

I'd love to hear them, but I am just that way... even if they likely are not funny.

ha well they'd all be pretty dark; only in America do we fund our own downfall, etc...who can admit that they aren't being used as a profit center to feed the maw in some way...
