Only in Korea does the pharmacist hand you mystery pills in mystery envelopes, without your name or the name of the pills written on them, and when you ask what they are, says "I don't know."
Next....
Only in Korea ....

do you find posters who want you to point out the locals' flaws and foibles.
No wait, that is everywhere. Making fun of other people is sophisticated fun.
Carry on. |

Apparently some people are not familiar with the "Only in...." format.
Here are some most Americans know:
| Quote: |
Things Found Only in America
1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
3. 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.
4. Only in America......do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet Coke.
5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors to the vault open and then chain the pens to the counters.
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.
9. 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'.
10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering. |
http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/jokes/bljokeonlyinamerica.htm
There are whole books of these back in the States, and several humorists (now deceased?) who made a good living telling these jokes.
Please note they are supposed to be humorous, often involving a logical inconsistencies. I thought the camo one was rather good. |

An enforced rule for wearing lifejackets in shallow, calm, harmless water, yet no enforcement for wearing seatbelts while in speedy metal-chunk vehicles travelling at 100 km/h.
A society-enforced rule about bowing to people when you greet them, or looking at a business card for a full minute to show respect, yet no rule for hoiking up and spitting phlegm around them, nor even yielding for them when they walk the pedestrian crossing. In fact, the assumption is to treat them like they don't exist!

Only in Korea
-Do people adore their pet dogs and dye their fur and carry them, yet eat them at any opportunity.
I know it's a different breed, I just want to tease Superfly.
Only in Korea
-Do people prefer an American accent. |

You're lucky. I usually encounter coffee or tea stuck into everything. Being LDS, I don't consume either in any form and really don't appreciate the nasty surprise. |
