    Only in America:


    ~ can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

    ~ are there handicapped parking places in front of a skating rink.

    ~ 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.

    ~ do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

    ~ do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

    ~ do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

    ~ 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.

    ~ do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

    ~ do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

    ~ do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
