6. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
7. Only in America......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.
8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

That's funny Akakiy. Because in America, we use the Public restrooms to relieve ourselves. Not for a bath.
We have all kinds of stupid warnings.
Like.
Do not use the hair dryer while sitting in the bathtub. Electric shock may occur.
Like, no govno
If I'm sitting in the most conductive electrical element on Earth, blow drying my hair. I run the risk of electrical shock.

When you get your clothes back from the laundromat, They come enclosed in a plastic bag. The bag says on it.. Do not pull over head. Suffocation, may occur.
REALLY? Do you think so?
A plastic bag over the head may result in "suffocation"

Al, that's what corps are trying to prevent. Lawsuits.
Another one is this.
Do not operate machinery under the influence of this drug. May cause an accident.

Mrs. MervGrazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased a new 32-footWinnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down, $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy amotor home. Are we, as a society, getting more stupid...?
