why in banks do they chain a pen to the desk, but leave the vault door open?

why do people go to McDonalds and order 2 big mac, 2 large fries, and a diet coke?

why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

why is a package taken in a car called a shipment and a package taken in a ship called cargo?

feel free to post.
 
Get these funky laws:

You have to be 18 to play pinball in Nashville, Tennessee.
You can't wake up a sleeping bear to take it's picture in Alaska.
You can't sleep on a refrigerator outdoors in Oklahoma.
You can't fish from the back of a camel in Idaho.
You can't ride a bicycle in a swimming pool in one city in California.

And, as Johnny Cash said, "You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd."

But what about waking up besides a sleeping bear, and someone else takes a picture of you??? :D
 
When those laws were made they actually had a reason for them to be passed. Im sure a few of them were made in honor of Darwin winners :D . I can imagine some one going "Waky waky Mr. *ROAR* *RIP* MY FACE..."
 
These two are just so sweet:

Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.

First off, I don't think Americans are "stupid". I think they're geographically iggnorant, affected by the media to a higher degree then other nations, given a bad education, and much more...

If you regularly watch shows like 60 Minutes or 20/20, you've probably seen videotaped footage of college kids being asked challenging geography questions:

John Stossell: Can you point out Japan on this globe?
Booze-addled sorority girl: Is that it? (giggle)
John Stossell: That's Nigeria.

So why are they so "stupid"?

2.Lazy parents

4.self-gratification


Are Americans stupid? Not all, just most...
