Any American who has traveled outside the United States knows how wonderful our country is in comparison to all other countries. We have our problems but, compared to other countries, we are Heaven on Earth.
We do, however, have our own funny particulars. ONLY IN AMERICA…
1. Can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
2. Do we award someone $3,000,000 for spilling hot coffee on their own lap.
3. Do we have labels on baby strollers to remind people to remove the baby before folding up the stroller.
4. Do we have prescription bottles with tops that only a child can open.
5. Do we have drugstores that make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions.
6. Do people order double cheese burgers, large fires, and a diet coke.
7. Do banks leave all the doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
8. Do we leave out cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and lock up useless junk in the garage.
9. Did 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.
10. Do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
11. Can a man wear an old tee shirt, ragged jeans, a plaid shirt he has had since high school, a baseball cap worn backwards and dirty sneakers to eat in a fine restaurant.
12. Do we use the word “politics” to describe the process so well: “Poli” in Latin meaning “many” and “tics” meaning “bloodsucking creatures.”
13. Do we have drive-up ATM machines with instructions written in Braille.
14. Can you complete an online course faster than waiting “on hold.”
15. Can a burglar sue you for hurting himself in your home while robbing it.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
