Great Minds Think Alike

Here is proof that I'm not the only one who complains, slash, proof that Argies are crazy.

I Love America Because:

  1. People do not hoard coins and then sell them on the black market
  2. When Madonna has a concert, those going to the show don't park in the emergency lane of I-95 any other major US highway located close to the concert venue.
  3. You don't have to pay some rag carrying ¨guarda autos¨ to look after your car at night.
  4. Hosing off the sidewalk in front of your house with filtered water for twenty minutes every morning is not called ¨cleaning¨ it´s called wasting hundreds of gallons of potable drinking water because you and your fellow citizens haven´t been taught how to use a garbage can or an ashtray.
  5. You don't have to unlock the toilet paper every time you use the bathroom in a US office building.
  6. The amphibious Nike sandals never made it onto the NYC fashion circuit (thank god).
  7. Taxi drivers don't go on strike because they are mad that the number of people who take cabs has dropped dramatically since….well, the stock market crashed and we entered a world recession.
  8. Graffiti (or stenciling as they call it here) is not art; it's the defacement of property.
  9. Ham and cheese in not considered vegetarian.
  10. Men don´t drink diet coke.
  11. Selling stolen paintbrushes and remote controls on the train and subway is not considered ¨making a living, ¨ it's called robbery.
  12. The only people who drink Fanta and other orange soda like liquids are 5 year olds at birthday parties.
  13. Empanadas are not a food group.
  14. Men wear suits to work because they have to, not because they want to.
  15. Having a bachelor's degree does not give you the right to be a professor at an accredited university.
  16. Just because you graduate law school does not mean you are a lawyer. Same goes for someone who studied chemistry in undergrad is not a chemist DAMMIT!
  17. People go to work
  18. Parsianas don´t exist.
  19. Stoplights mean something
  20. Miracle, Sun and Jesus are not names of your children.
  21. In a pharmacy, you don't have to go to three counters and speak to four different people before you are allowed to purchase a box of tampax.
  22. Not everyone is catholic.
