    MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE .....!! Be very proud to be ...... because... Only in ... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. 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 leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the Drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage. 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.

    Only in ... are there Braille on the buttons at the drive-in bank teller. The really sad thing is that the people who design these things can most likely vote ...

            USA certainly fits. I have never been that far north so I can't comment on Canada.

                      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. :)
