We yell for the government to balance the budget, but spend the last dime we have on a down payment on a car.

We whip the enemy in battle and then give them the shirt off of our backs.

We yell for speed laws that stop fast driving, but we dont buy a car if it doesnt go over 100mph.

Americans get scared to death if we vote $1 billion for education, but are unconcerned when we find out that we are spending $3 billion a year on cigarettes.

We'll spend half a day looking for vitamin pill that will help us live longer and then drive 90mph on slick pavement to make up for the lost time.

We tie up our dog while letting our 16 yr old sone run wild.

We work hard on the farm so that we can move into town where we can make more money and move back to the farm.

In the office we discuss baseball, shopping, or fishing; but when we are out doing those things, we talk about business.

We're the country that has the most food in the world and more diets to keep us from eating it.

We run from morning to night trying to keep our earing power up with our yearning power.

We're supposed to be 1 of the most civilized nations in the world, But still can't deliver pay rolls w/out an armored car.

We have more marriage counselors than any other country in the world, but still have the by far the most divorces.

We know the line up of every baseball team in the American and National leagues, but we don't know half the words to the "Star Spangled Banner."
