Here’s part of an email that I received some time ago. Just a little something random to entertain you.
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.
Only in America…do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
Only in America…do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
Only in America…do people leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
Only in America…do people buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
Only in America…do banks have 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 is ‘abbreviated’ such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do ‘practice’?
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?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don’t they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
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?

Lol @ the one that says women can't wear mascara with their mouths closed. That's true. I've tried that, and it doesn't work. Hmm. It must have something to do with the body functions. Anyways…thanks for sharing. I've learned a lot more things today.

This guy Richard Ledderer wrote a book called "Crazy English" that has a bunch of similar observations.
