I got these in an email and had a good laugh.
I hope you do to.

1. Only in America......can a pizza get to 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.

6. Only in America......do we leave cars 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'.

10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

Thanks I think.

In reference to number 6...

Only in America do you see new BMW's, Mercedes Benz's and Porsche's parked on the street in front of ratbag apartments.

Glad you could all have a good laugh.

Its something that more of us should have more often.

Try these on:

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while
sleeping. ( and that's the only time I have to work
on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos: ..You could be a winner! No
purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular
soap." (and that would be how??...)

On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion:
Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion.)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on
bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a
bit late, huh!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be
hot after heating." (...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron
clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:"Do not drive a
car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents
if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off
those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and... I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or
outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what?)

On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for
the other use."
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3:
maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this
garment does not enable you to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)
