(EDITOR'S NOTE: Again, in the spirit of the motto , "LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE", I include these bits of humor for the Consumer section of Issue #32)

• 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 both 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 we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

• Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
