Ever Wonder?

Postby AmberWest » Sep 07, 2005 10:11 am

ONLY IN AMERICA:

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 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?

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?

Just thought we could all use a giggle. :lol:
Add your own... Goodness knows there have to be more out there.

Those are funny Amber, did you make them all up? I can only imagine how gross it would be to actually make mouse flavored cat food... :wink:

Hi Amber

Good to see you around again... I was going to post in the Amber/Keri post, but only found it today and thought it was a bit tooo late.. sorryx :(

Those were very funny and really cheered me up :lol: I have to add that I can do mascara with my mouth closed... am I the only one? surely not??? :?

I particularly thought the POLITICS one was exceptional!............oh and the airoplane made of black box material. Now that really would be a break through in technology....

Helenxxx :D

Why is bra singular and panties plural?

why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?

If 7-11 stores are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week, why are there locks on the doors?

Those are great! Carla, I love the bra and panties one.

Jolene,
No, I have to admit I didn't make those up. It was an email my Mum sent me, but I thought I'd share the giggle.

Carla,
:lol: Very good additions!
