Only in the USA....

1. Only in the USA........can a pizza get to your
house faster than an ambulance.

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

3. Only in USA......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 the USA.......do people order double
cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

5. Only in the USA......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.

Sad thing is, you have to be able to read the screen to pick which function you need, (my aunt is blind, pointed that fact out to me) even on the walk up ones, but no, she never drove up to one, LOL

I'm guilty of #4. If I drank a regular coke now it would taste like a can of sugar.

speaking of soda...i just had a can of coke from like 2 years ago and it tasted like pepsi to me...i think there is a conspiracy going on here...all the coke they dont sell that is after the drink before date goes to pepsi and is repackaged

How do you tell the difference? I don't drink Coke or Pepsi very often, they taste the same to me. Oh, if I did a taste test and tried them one right after the other I might taste the difference, but blindfolded I still wouldn't know which was which. I'm a Dr. Pepper man. Mmmmm, carbonated prune juice! Uh oh, this is taking this thread in a whole different direction! -TD
