'Only in America'

[Micah 16]

I recieved this funny e-mail. Some of them I didn't get, but the ones I did understand were hilarious.

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.

..do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

..do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

..do we (Americans) leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put out useless junk in the garage.

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

..do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli" in Latin meaning 'many; and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

..do we 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 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 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? (think about wool)

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

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do airports have areas called terminals?

I've never thought of that one as many times as I have seen a drive-up ATM...

I didn't understand the one about terminals or the one about wool or the one about mascara (but I'm not a woman, so...) but I agree, the rest were quite funny.

Thanx, Marc! The hilaity is enhanced by the fact that they're all TRUE! Made my day!

[The_Family_Guy 2]

Omg, the Noah one put me over the edge!

LMAO

Haha that's kinda funny. Most of them are ALL true.

Actually, I was looking at a list similar to this today.  Most of it's fun stuff.

George Carlin one of the best.

That's funny! Especially the one with the braille on the drive-thru atm. I can just imagine a blind guy driving.

I've always hated how they do that...

The sterilized needle for lethal injections is my favorite. As Robin Williams put it, "Wouldn't want you to get that last-second infection!"

I have called banks on the braille thing for a long time. At the ATM at the mac's on the corner, they have a little sign with braille, UNDER A PIECE OF CLEAR PLASTIC so that you can not feel the braille! I called CIBC to complain but they don't care.

LOL!
