1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. 2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink. 3. 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. 4. Only in America......do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet Coke. 5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors to the vault open and then chain the pens to the counters. 6. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage. 7. Only in America......do we 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. 8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight. 9. 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'. 10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

Only in America, you don't have to be a citizen to join the Military but must be a citizen to join the Police. Only in America, they expect you to work the entire year with only 2-3 weeks of vacation.

PG, thought Britain also used "His Majesty", thank god the use of thou/thy blah blah is considered old. I don't like the use of those sophisticated Nepali words, eg "sarkar hajur bhuja junar gari bhaksiyos", sounds tooooooo pompus for my liking! Those obese royal family can be dethroned for all I care! I got a good one, Only in Nepal do they spend millions of rupees to treat a women who fell ill coz she ate toooo much food (heart problem due to overeating and no exercise) while people in the village die coz they do not have Rs. 5 to buy jeevan jal. (Source: Nepali newspaper)

yeah, meera, they do use "his/her majesty" in the uk, but they don't have an entirely separate verb form for the person! crazy...i know ta, timi, tapaai/hajur, but i don't know shree paach sarkar.......and i started a thread yesterday about that article from nepalnews regarding the royal family member being treated in the uk and the lack of jeevan jal in the villages. it died a quick death.

Only in America do you bash all day about the gas price hitting 1.80 per gallon but don't mind paying 2 $ for less than a liter of bottled water.

Confused-Surprised he was not just treated as Office Secretary with a 1/2 star treatment. Only in Nepal the city planning involves putting the paved road first followed by sanitary sewer underneath it followed by road again followed by cable and the process goes on......(just to remind you that the excavation won't start until the first day of monsoon)
