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.

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.

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.

Re: Only in America
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.
