Only in This World ......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 This World ......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

Only in This World ...........do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

Only in This World .....do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

I was going to say perhaps the inventor was colored blind.

But then I saw this facto ...  looks like you can blame the British “... the name “black box” came from a British government official, who in 1958 referred to it using W.W.II-era Air Force slang for subtle avionics. By the mid-1960s, flight-data and cockpit voice recorders were mandatory for commercial airplanes.Apr 5, 2014”

:good:  Nice.

I’m laughing at
“why did Wile Coyote buy all that ACME crap and didn’t just buy dinner”

Well I don’t believe we have to wait for heaven to know that answer  B-)   In NJ ironically we did have a grocery store called ACME and it was the most pitiful grocery store on the planet.  The only edible items in that store were chips/pretzels/soda and “some” can goods.  Their meat was always past their due dates and cold cut deli meat was dried out with a special crusty edge forming.  Their ice cream was full of ice crystals and the “fresh” fruits and veggies were always bruised and on the borderline of being rotten.  Sadly I think the only reason they stayed opened as long as they did was because there was a Senior housing apartments across the street and they were the ones who kept the store thriving ...
