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 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.


EVER  WONDER ..

Why  the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?



Why  women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?


Why  don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?


Why  is "abbreviated" such a long word?



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  is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush  hour?


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  don't sheep shrink when it rains?


Why  are they called apartments when they are all stuck  together?


If  con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If  flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the  terminal?



Now  that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity
and  send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a
chuckle)...in  other words, send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a
while.
