Only in ... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. Only in ... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a DIET coke. Only in ... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.

Only in ... do 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. Only in ... are there disabled parking places in front of an Ice skating rink.

                        Originally, it was Only in England. Then, having thought about it for a bit, it occurred to me that the statements most probably applied to other countries as well and it that context, you are correct. :doh:

                          I used to deliver in Quebec quite a bit. A lot of the guys on the docks thought I should learn French. I told'em I would..... If I ever moved to south Louisiana. :)
