    With all of the 'heavy stuff' going down right now, I thought I would post something that might make you chuckle:

    your house faster than an ambulance.
    >
    2. Only in America......are there
    handicap parking places in front of a
    skating rink.
    >
    3. 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.
    >
    4. Only in America......do people order
    double cheeseburgers, large fries,
    and a diet coke.
    >
    5. Only in America......do banks leave
    both doors open and then chain the
    pens to the counters.
    >

    worth thousands of dollars in the
    driveway and put our useless junk in the
    garage.
    >
    7. Only in America......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.
    >
    8. Only in America......do we buy hot
    dogs in packages of ten and buns in
    packages of eight.
    >
    9. 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'.

    drive-up ATM machines with Braille
    lettering.

    Only in America can you call a furniture store and ask for furniture to be delivered to your home on the eve of war.

    Only in America can you go to a restaurant and enjoy a lunch to celebrate a co-worker's birthday on the eve of war.

    Simply amazing.

    Elsewhere, I'm guessing you had furniture delivered today and had some birthday cake today.

    Glad you guys got a laugh. These were my favorites:

    3. 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.

    Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

    2. Only in America......are there
    handicap parking places in front of a
    skating rink.

    Nope here too in fact it is almost compulsory for people in wheel chairs to go sky diving and stuff (and .. we invented things like the popping box at for blind pedestrians (at walk/don't walk signs)

    5. Only in America......do banks leave
