This has probably been posted before, but here goes:

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 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

creatures'.

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

lettering.

ONLY IN AMERICA!
