Hello from Matthew and Jill!

Greetings Coffee Talkers!
We love it here in Princeton. The beautiful autumn weather, fascinating classes, and wonderful people have all enriched our experience. Jill is taking four courses, including Hebrew, Christianity in Africa, American Religion and Literature, and the Gospel of John. Matthew is sitting in on a theology course and a course in ethics and the problem of evil. We have found a great church and attend a Bible study on campus with three other couples. It is a joy to see Matthew's family regularly.
We just took a trip to Maine with Matthew's parents. We ate lobster and walked on the beach. What a terrific time it was! We miss you all very much!
peace to you all,

Matthew and Jill

Today's topic:
Observational humor...

ONLY IN AMERICA…
Why do people order a double cheeseburger, large fries, and a diet soda?
Why do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters?
Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage?
Why do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight?
Why do we have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering?
EVER WONDER
why women can't put on mascara with their mouths closed?
why "abbreviated" is such a long word?
why the time of day with the slowest traffic is called rush hour?
why there isn’t mouse-flavored cat food?
why sheep don’t shrink when it rains?
why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

What questions do you have about American culture?
What funny things do you think people do everywhere?
