Only in America

[Sassymygirl]

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 a diet 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 they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.



EVER WONDER ...

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens
our skin?



Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?



Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?



Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?



Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?



Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?



Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?



Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?



Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?



Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?



Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?



You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!



Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?



Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

Have you ever wondered why we drive on parkways, yet park in driveways?

oh in addition.. you can be 18 to die for your country but can't legally drink alcohol till you are 21.

I'm one of the (few evidently) women who don't hold my mouth open when applying mascara...

Braille ATM wise, my theory... it's less bother and expense to make ALL buttons braille than it is to have two separate factory lines, one for braille and one not. Also, when a button has a problem there's no worry that you brought the wrong replacement button - either simply for asthetics wanting all to be the same, OR imagine how cranky someone who needs those would be to find one or more on wrong and three tries you're blocked rule on ATM would make it even worse! Not to mention that a friend could drive their blind friend to the ATM, just like any other person may be the driver but the passenger has the moolah.

That's my theory anyways.

The Garage one we are definitely guilty of though... of course, the fact that our landlord sealed up the garage contributes, but even before then... *blush*

Must admit the drug store one shocked me. You can buy smokes and medicine in the same store.
