The last Monday in November...
Ok, so I didn't forget about my Monday post anyways...
Only in America ... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
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 will not miss a call from someone we did not 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.

November 30, 2009 7:10 AMWhat a great post!! I'm over 40 and was at a Basketball game Saturday night. A 20something woman was in line in front of me for a adult beverage. She got served without a question, I was asked to show my ID....ha! Only in the USofA!
November 30, 2009 8:06 AMONLY IN AMERICA where law makers have low cost excellent health insurance while for a hundred years they cannot provide the citizens they "serve" a semi decent coverage. All at the same time they complain that other governments are corrupt. And people go to the polls believing they have a democracy.
November 30, 2009 10:30 AMONLY IN AMERICA where everyone, collectively and individually, are broke and yet they encourage everyone to borrow money they don't have and have no means to pay back, to buy things they don't need in the first place. It's called consumer triggered recovery.
Is that funny?
Complicated - I know it. It's amazing really..
November 30, 2009 7:12 PMAmy - Soooooo true. I am one of those Americans with the *crap tastic* insurance that they offer.
Naughty - Really? That's amazing how they just pick who they want to card. :(
