Only in America (Posted in Australia)

Only in America...can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance...

Only in America...are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink...

Only in America...do people order double cheese burgers, a large fry, and a diet coke...

SECOND CHANCES

Elvis, River Phoenix and Liberace are all hanging out up in heaven and getting a little bored with fluffy white clouds and angels playing harps. Elvis eventually says to Archangel Gabriel, "Look, we're bored up here, man.
Can we be resurrected on Earth for a day, just to break the monotony?"
Gabriel, not too sure about it, thinks awhile, and eventually agrees;
"But only if you promise not to revert back to any of your former sins...
If you do, you're going straight to hell."
Elvis, River, and Liberace all agree, and find themselves on Earth.  As they walk along, Elvis spots a bar and, unable to resist the temptation, heads towards it.  As he touches the door handle, *WHOOF* he's gone.
River, shocked by this, utters, "Shit, man!  Gabriel wasn't joking when he said we'd go straight to hell..."  "Nevermind, nothing we can do, The King's gone now kid.  Let's go"
And, they continue walking along the road, when River spots a $5 bag of cocaine lying on the pavement.  Just as he bends over to pick it up,
*WHOOF*...
Liberace disappears.


To the engineer of the world...

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body.  One said, ``It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints.''

Another said, ``No, it was an electrical engineer.  The nervous systems many thousands of electrical connections.''

The last said, ``Actually it was a civil engineer.  Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?''

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An engineering student was walking across campus when another engineer rides up on a shiny new motorcycle.

"Where did you get such a great bike?"asked the first.

The second engineer replied "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said 'Take what you want.'"

The second engineer nodded approvingly "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
