    Things that make you go HMMMM?

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

    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 people order
    double cheeseburgers, large fries,
    and a diet coke.

    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 in the
    driveway and put our useless junk in the
    garage.

    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.

    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.
