I received this in an email today. Most I dispose of - but this one might make you smile.
(Some aren't really funny.) 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 banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters. Only in America ........do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars inthe 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. 
DID YOU EVER WONDER ... Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? 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 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 are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? (don't everyone ^answer at once !) |
