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 cheese burgers, large
fries, and a diet Coke.

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

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

7. 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.

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

9. 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."

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