Only In America/Ever Wonder

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 we leave cars worth
 thousands of dollars in the driveway and
 put our useless junk in the garage. 
 
Only in America..do we buy hot dogs in
 packages of ten and buns in packages of
 eight. 
 
Only in America ..do we use the word
 'politics' to describe the process so well:
 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics'
 meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'. 
 
Only in America ..do they have drive-up ATM
 machines with Braille lettering.
