OK, ok I digress. As I always do when I wake up, I flip CNN on and the first piece of news that hits me is Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize...wow! And of course anything which happens to this Man, is up for international debate...geez.
Next up....NASA 'bombs' the moon! There is the urgent need to know if water exists on the moon coz water is heavy and would be difficult to carry...huh?....who's up for the moon as your next postal address??
Hhmm I like my 'adopted' country, really I do, I've been living here the past 10 years! But seriously! read on....
Only in America...
* are there handicap-parking places in front of a skating rink.
* do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
* do they leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
* do they 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 they use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
* do they choose from just two people to run for presidency and 50 for Miss America
* do they make the sick walk all the way to the back of the drugstore to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
* half the money is spent buying food, and the other half is spent trying to lose weigh
* do they have braille on drive-thru ATMs
and wait here is the clincher...
Only in America is there actually a semi-important figure in American history who is named for a blow-job movie. Deep Throat. Think about it. How do school teachers handle this?
And on that note I wish you a very Happy Friday...party till you drop but do be responsible & careful!
