A few to think on for the weekend.

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 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.

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?

These are so good. Actually your drugstore (our chemists) are the same. Our large one in town has an entrance door at each end, the pharmacy counter is right in the middle. It's so you will have to pass what they sell and hopefully buy something. They are not bothered if you are ill. Profit is all they care about. xxx

You're so right MCO. That's also why they put all the sweets etc near the checkouts. There's nothing so easy as giving a screaming, frustrated child a candy bar to quieten them while you pack, even though all through the store you've been saying "NO you are not having anymore sweets!" Lol

I used to be a "checkout chick" in a big supermarket chain and saw this happening all the time. X
