martymas Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 not sure if htis has been posted before however here goesOnly In America : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Everyone, something to think about. ONLY IN AMERICA : 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: pole's 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 you never see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Why "abbreviated" is such a long word? Why doctors call what they do "practice"? Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons? Why the man who invests all your money is called a "broker"? Why the time of day with the slowest traffic is called rush hour? Why there isn't mouse-flavored cat food? Why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes? Why 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jsbowen Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Only in America ..do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage!Since this hits very close to home, I'll give you an explanation:"Because the wife won't get rid of any junk!"How's that?

deaf_girl Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?I always wondered if right before they inject you if they ask: "Are you allergic to anything?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Only in America ..do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage!That's why I'm glad we have a half basement half garage. The basement is half under ground with the garage doors obviously on the above ground side. So we have space for crap and cars. 2 car garage though. We have 3. Guess who's is outside. stinkin' PT Cruiser. We need to leave it outside. POS. We just need to keep the Toyota and the Honda in the garage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snyper Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 The only one for which I have no logical explanationThe explanation is that cat food is marketed towards humans not cats. The cat food is marked to our tastes..odd i know but true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 The explanation is that cat food is marketed towards humans not cats. The cat food is marked to our tastes..odd i know but true. Doh. Of course. Aside: My cat hated fish-flavored cat food. Chicken, beef, even turkey, fine. Tuna-fish flavor? Salmon flavor? Would. Not. Touch. It. She'd rather starve and let it dry up into a rock than touch it. Oddly, she'd eat real canned tuna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snyper Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 She'd rather starve and let it dry up into a rock than touch it.id like to put that to the test Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 id like to put that to the test Well, obviously I wasn't about to let her starve to death! After a few days I'd just break the dried up rock of fish-flavored food out of the bowl and gave her something I knew she'd eat. I'm guessin' she supplemented her diet with mice, mole, bird and rabbit meat (which she would upon occasion offer to me, gee, thanks). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snyper Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 which she would upon occasion offer to me, gee, thanks..and in order not to hurt her feelings u ate it rite? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 ..and in order not to hurt her feelings u ate it rite? No, but if you like I can send you a package via snail-mail. Might smell a bit by the time it gets there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
