These days I seem to ponder many things that don’t make a lot of sense to me and then a friend emailed me the following thoughts on a somewhat lighter note than the things I ponder these days.
Only in America…. do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a diet coke.
Only in America…. do banks have both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
Only in America…. do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway because our garages are full of junk.
Only in America…. do they have drive-up ATMs with Braille lettering.
Ever wonder…. why the sun darkens our skin but lightens our hair?
…. why women can’t put on mascara with their mouths closed?
…. why you don’t 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 lemon juice is made with artificial flavor and dishwashing liquid is 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 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’re all stuck together?
If flying is so safe…. why do they call the airport the ‘terminal’?
and my final thought…why can’t we find things “right” about people rather than always pointing out something wrong?
