OT-Only in America

Only In America ================

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

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

  2. 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.

  1. Only in America...... do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet Coke.

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

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

  2. 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.

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

  2. 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".

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

It depends. Papa John's is slower than Domino's beut well worth the wait. The best place in Baton Rouge won't deliver, but will hold it at a pick-up winder.

Magnanmously stupid federal requirement. Goto Wal-Mart and they have 12 spaces and there are never more than two or three used.

LOL!! I never noticed that, many have a drive up though.

OH no! I saw people in London doing the same thing.

Heh.

I actually cleand out my garage enough t fit all three cars. I still have some dumping to do though. =p

Ehhh, I've never had call waiting personally. I do have it set to tranfer to my cell phone on a busy signal.

It works out, I eat the extra two while I'm cooking...

Interesting...

Imma check that next time Heh...

We have all the same stuff in Canada, just six months later, in metric and less flavours. Oh, and no cigs in the drugstores. StuK

You *need* the pizza first so you can properly block your arteries, giving the EMT something to do.

The spaces are there for you to retrieve your kids that just broke their ankles on the skating rink.

If the sick person dies before the prescription is filled (likely in most cases), it is easier and quieter to wheel them into the warehouse where fewer shoppers will see them.

At 5 bucks, it's the cheapest guilt therapy you can get.

If I robbed a bank, I'd think an open vault would be a trap, and that the real money is in the tampon dispenser in the women's bathroom, and there's no way I'm going in there, either.

Your car is less likely to prove to the neighbors that you're a dork than the useless junk you've been hanging on to.

It's my right to verbally abuse telemarketers when I'm in the mood, and only when I'm in the mood.

A marketing ploy to get us to eat 40 hot dogs a week. See #1.

I really wish they would suck my blood instead of chew my wallet. Blood's cheaper.

It's nice to have something to ridicule the bank employees for every damn time you go inside for a transaction.

Actually, I would suspect this is the same world wide. You don't make two different ATM keyboards if possible. Only an idiot blows thousands of dollars on extra tooling. The idea is to share as many parts as possible between all models.

The place up the road from me won't deliver, but they'll fed-ex it anywhere.

I went to pay a parking ticket, and saw braille beneath the "Gun Permits" sign in the Police station a while back :)

But I suppose it's the same th> >

This beats them all. Bought a Hershey bar the other day. No kindin', there were instructions on how to open the thing. Something like "hold here" "pull here".
