Ending With a Smile

 Hello to all.  It is another chilly morning here.  Looks to be a sunny day, but staying a bit cooler in the mid 60's.  I think the weekend is going to be lovely. Many in the northern part of the state may have gotten a little frost last night.  Nothing here - and doubtful we will get any at least for the next week or so.  Fine with me!


I came across this little diddy and it made me chuckle a little too much and say 'hmmmm'.  Thought you may enjoy it as well.  It says 'only' in America - well, that may not be true - it could be other places as well.
SMILE

And now for a little humor... 😃😃😃
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 vault 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 they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
EVER WONDER....
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why can't women 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 flying is so safe, why do they call the airport, the terminal?
Hope this made you smile a little bit 🙂

Hard to believe we are approaching another weekend. I hope whatever plans you have this weekend are fun, productive and just enjoyable. I wish all of our Canadian friends a Happy Thanksgiving and a great weekend of food, friends, family and socializing.

Have a great day!!! Make sure to enjoy life a little!

  3. Got a big chuckle out of the "only in America" bit. Love the little kitties on the poster. So true!

    It is definitely cooler today. It would be nice to stay like this until January, have a hard freeze to kill all the bugs in the ground, and then warm up again.

    See you Tuesday!

  4. Love the “Only in America” and so true! I can attest to the power of friendship in the kitty poster. We are finally going to get some cooler weather this weekend and I’m looking forward to it! I’m going to work outside which is my happy place.

  5. "Only in America" made me chuckle. Reminds me of George Carlin.

    1. IT DOES! Oh, I miss him - he was so funny - yet it was always the truth.

  6. Only in America covers Canada as well. Though I can answer the one about the vault being left open - it's because everything within the vault is double locked so it is as secure or more so than that silly pen. :)
    We are expecting a high of 16C/61F this afternoon, rain on the weekend, and then that horrible four letter word on Monday. I'm hoping that the forecast will be wrong!

    1. Good to know - I always wondered too.
      Oh nooooooo. I could do without that all winter. No way to spend a holiday!!! Hoping it is wrong for you.

  8. America *is* a strange country! :) Those "only"s are fun. Thanks for the smiles. Chilly day, but sunny. Very Autumnal indeed. How blue the sky is at this season, just mind-blowing.

    Be well, all.
