Blah.
So today I basically just hung out. But this morning when I was cleaning my room out, I found a paper from english class of last year that my teacher handed out to us. It really makes you think about America. So here it is...
More On American Language and Culture.
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 American...do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
Only in America...do we leave cars worth thousands in driveways and put useless junk in garages.
Only in America... so we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
Only in America...so we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'POLI' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
Only in American...do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
