Being American is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Mexican beer, then traveling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish shish-kebab on the way, to sit down on Danish furniture and British shows on a Japanese large-screen plasma t.v.
And the most American thing of all: Suspicion of anything foreign!
Oh, yes, and only in America can an Italian pizza made by a Greek chef reach your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in America do supermarkets make sick people 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 America do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries (super sized) and a Diet soft drink.
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.
Only in America do we leave vehicles worth tens of thousands of dollars in the driveway and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
Kind of makes you proud to be an American, doesn't it.
