Why is it that in America...?

Why is it that in America:


1. Why is it that you can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance?


2. Why is it that there are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink?


3. Why is it that 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?


4. Why is it that people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet Coke?


5. Why is it that banks leave both doors to the vault open and then chain the pens to the counters?


6. Why is it that we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage?


7. Why is it that we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place?


8. Why is it that we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight?


9. Why is it that we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well? (After all, Poli' in Latin means 'many' and 'tics' means 'bloodsucking creatures'.)


10. Why is it that they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering?
