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 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.

That was one of my favorites for a long time, because the words hashed out so well. I mean, PRO vs. CON right? Well, there's that other joke that it's called Congress because it's full of CONS, but I won't get into that.

As for Braille on ATMs tho, interesting story:

Actually there are people who are considered 'legally' blind who have no problems driving. It is close up things they have problems seeing.

From: someone

As of December 1, 2003 the sale of tobacco through pharmacies is as follows:

AB: Pharmacies are permitted to sell tobacco

BC: Pharmacies are permitted to sell tobacco.

MB: Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association policy encourages pharmacists to not sell tobacco products.

NB: Provincial legislation has prohibited sale of tobacco from pharmacies since July 1, 1997.

NL: Association has Standards of Pharmacy Practice that have since June 2000 applied incremental restrictions on the display and sale of tobacco in pharmacies. Now in the next-to-last step of those restrictions (Dec 31, 2003), after which time tobacco cannot be on public display in pharmacies. A complete ban will be in place effective January 1, 2005.

NS: Tobacco Access Act amended in 1999 to ban the sale of tobacco products from pharmacies.

NT: Sale from pharmacies currently permitted. Some pressure to include a provision in the proposed Tobacco Control Act restricting tobacco sales from pharmacies, but no final decision made to-date.

ON: Not permitted.

PE: Sale from pharmacies currently permitted, but there are negotiations underway by the PEI Pharmacists Association for ban.

QC: Unknown
