Default Only in America

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.

People order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

Banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

We leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

We buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

We use the word "politics" to describe the process so well: "Poli" in Latin means "many" and "tics" means "bloodsucking creatures."

There are 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?

the black box is heavy. building a plane with all that junk will only make your ticket more expensive since you have to pay for the fuel.

the rest.. WIN.

Nice, but the catfood one should be "butt flavored cat food" instead of mice flavored...Since my cats lick their buttholes more than anything else and seem to love it.
