I got this email from a confused person. I thought I would help them out......
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.
Simple - Coorporate greed.
Only in America ..... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
A penny saved is a penny earned; a calory saved is probably a waste of time.
Only in America ...... do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
The thieves are in front of the counters.
Only in America ...... do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage. My car is covered by insurance.
Only in America ...... do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
If you buy 40 of each it all evens out.
Only in America ...... do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
Untrusting blind person in the back seat.
