Only in North America......
.......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
.......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
.......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.
.......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
.......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
.......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
.......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
EVER WONDER
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavoured cat food?
When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilise the needle for lethal injections?
