:tongue2: Spread the Stupidity

Only in America do we find some of the most mind boggling things.


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?

Why do we use the word "Near Miss" when there is no miss at all?

I have pondered these questions many times. Especially the braille at the ATM thing.

Great funnies! Plus, look back at the blue tags and think about "hang on tank dogs" and "drive up at the moment machines"! Don't get me wrong I love the tags but I do sometimes chuckle at the odd turn of phrase.

SC has bumper stickers in reference to them being our state bird. They've been known to carry small children away!
