Only in America ...

... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

... do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

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

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

... 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.

... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli'
    in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

... 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..

... do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
