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 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?

"If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress"

I have often thought the same thing.... constitution vs. prostitution... whats the negative thing?

BTW.......... In Canada, Pharmacy's cannot sell cigarettes....it has been that way for, um....seven years or so. just a little FYI.

You guys don't have CVS's up there or People's Drugs or Drug Fair where there is a pharmacy inside of the convenience store?
I met this guy and he kept saying "eh" at the end of every sentence and I asked him if he was Canadian and his mind was boggled at my psychic powers.

Yes we do, I work at one. (don't ask me for how much longer) What, are we uncivilized? Canadians don't need tampons, makeup, deodorant or shampoo? LOL, funny.. yeah, and it's also never summer and we always wear snowshoes, and of course, we ALL say 'eh' all the time. You really MUST be psychic.

Yes, we (obviously) have chain/independent drug stores, with all the sundries... we simply have a law in place, that if you dispense medicines (ie;pharmacy) you cannot sell cigarettes. It IS hypocritical..
Pharmacist~"Here, Mr. Saunders, is your asthma inhaler."
Mr Saunders~ "Why Thank you, May I please have a package of DuMaurier lights?" ( Canadian brand)
If you sell cigarettes, there has to be a separate entity (store within a store) to sell them from.
