Dr T Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Spread the Stupidity 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 w hen 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?

AnthonyB Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Drugstore is such a US word, I always get the picture of some seedy joint where people are measuring out herion or hash! We have pharmacies or chemists in Australia, where you buy medicines. I'm curious what do americans call the people who own drugstores?

sgallan Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I used to work in a fast food place and people always ordered an artery hardening meal with a diet coke.Easy one. Because that 180 calories is one less mile I have to run, and one more thing I get to eat, to work off, and make up for, the occasional fast food meal.

Lbybug Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 incase of robberies, power outages, or the occassional person that doesn't show up to work (which happened to me the other night. it's against our company policy for 1 person to work alone at night while the store remains open, so we had to lock the doors while i stayed inside and did my normal shift duties) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
