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 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.

11. Only in America......can a homeless combat veteran live in a cardboard box and a draft dodger(s) live in the White House.

<------- Is guilty of that and isnt in America. (Ordering diet coke makes me feel better plus it tastes a lot better than normal coke!)

Some of those are pretty dumb

3. Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get

Its to deter people robbing medications.

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'.

Thats because its a greek word not latin.


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

So Elderly or disabled people arent supposed to watch or bring people to skating rinks..

My best friend always ordered a double quarter pounder with cheese, supersized fries and a diet coke. Never understood it, but she was also 5'11 and had a high metabolism, so I guess she just liked the taste of diet coke.

They shouldn't call them diet sodas, they should call them sugar-free.

More comman and reasonable use is in the instance of my good friends grandfather whos damn past his time. Well long story short, we drove up to the atm and pulled up along side it so he was capable of using the machine from the rear drivers side seat.

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

Its a hell of a lot easier to steal junk than it is my old mans half ton truck with GPS system that funnily enough allows authoritys to locate the vehicle.

Some of those were funny when i heard them oh say a good 4 years ago

The whole thing was tongue in cheek and as such funny. Although I gotta agree that diet coke tastes FAR superior to regular coke.

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

I fucking hate this. Hence the reason I don't eat hotdogs. Its a god-damned conspiracy, I tell ya!

And I asked once regarding the braille on drive-up ATMs. They're all manufatured the same way with braille in the number pad molds..would cost extra time and effort to make non-braille pads for the drive ups, wouldn't it?

Oh and X? Diet coke is FOUL. :D

Diversity is good. You can drink the evil nasty tasting stuff and leave the good stuff for those of us with tastebuds. See it all balances out :grin:
