A lot of these are old, but maybe you can find one or two new ones:

Why...

.......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.
EVER WONDER ....
Why the sun
lightens our hair,but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth
closed?
Why don't you 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 is lemon juice made with
artificial flavor, and
dishwashing liquid 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 that is
used 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 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?

I guess maybe the answer to why pharmacies are always in the back of the store could be: If the sick person has to walk all the way to the back, then they encounter many more people--then they can spread their sickness to more people--then those newly-sick people will order more meds and the pharmacies make more money. Then the cycle continues (heh, heh, heh)

Mel. Give that sweet little Gracie a nuzzle on top of the head for me, along with a sniffle on that hollow on the back of her sweet little neck, and then kiss all those sweet little piggies for me. (I love baby feet.)
