Why Are We So Stupid!!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Sellstate Advantage Realty

Well it was another hot, humid day down here beautiful Cape Coral Florida! We had our typical late afternoon storms followed by a gorgeous sunset! And of course it's Wednesday, affectionately known as "Hump Day", so it is  time for a little humor to get us through the rest of the week!

You know there are  certain things that never cease to amaze me and certain questions that I just can't seem to find answers for! And then there are things that are just plain stupid! Let me show you what I mean!

Only in America........ to drugstores make the sick man walk all the way to the back of the store to get his prescriptions, while the healthy man can buy cigarettes right at the front door!

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 countertops!

Only in America..... do we leave cars were thousands of dollars in the driveway and put useless junk inside the garage!

Only in America..... do we buy hot dogs in packages of 10 and buns in packages of 8!

Only in America..... do they have drive-up ATM machines with braille lettering!

And last but not least something to think about:

POLITICS: is derived from the Latin "poli" meaning many and "tics" meaning blood sucking creatures!

Have a great week!

I love this one.  They definitly made me smile. Thanks.  I do love the one about the drug store and I love the one about the garage.  My car sits in the driveway so I can protect my junk in the garage. Isn't that amazing?

What about the people who own a $100k ride, but live in the projects? Cute post. Thanks

Mike, these are funny!!!!  Thanks for sharing.  Well the one about the pharmacy being in the back of the store is a good point. Never though of that one.

Mike - Very funny...  I can relate to the cheeseburger, fries, and diet coke.  I don't know - somehow the diet coke makes you feel better about eating the burger and fries...  :)

Mike, real life is always funnier than fiction. It's all in how you look at things.
