Only In America

"Only In America"

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

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

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 use answering machines
to screen calls and then have call waiting so we will
not miss a call from someone we did not want to
talk to in the first place.

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

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'.

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