ONLY IN AMERICA:

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 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.


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 it 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 is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?


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?


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 they call the airport the terminal?

:lol:

Why does monosyllabic have so many syllables?

A lot of them occur in England. And I can answer some of those questions. And have seen them all before.

teh old, but still good.

Alot of these have logical answers. Brokers probably got the name during the great depresion when everyone whent broke because of thier stock handler.

The black box isn't indestructable just made very durably. If you made a plane to be that durable it'd be so heavy it couldn't fly.

It's called the terminal because it's the end of your flight, and people give ends more sentimental value then begenings

traffic is slow in rush hour because everyone is rushing home and being careless.

And finaly there is braile on driver up ATM's becuase people take blind people out to go shop and stuff, and they pull up to the sedond window on the car so they can get thier money. And alss becsaue drive up ATM's are the same machines as ones in stores ect. so to save money they make only one set of keys for both.

:p


I have one to add:

Why do we drive on a parkway and park and a drive way?
