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 cheeseburgers, 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 Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

>10. Only in America......do they have
drive-up ATM machines with Braille
lettering.

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

>If flying is so safe, why do they call

>------------------

>Now that you've smiled at least once,


It's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...in other words, send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while.
