Alpo Posted August 13 Posted August 13 13 hours ago, Buckshot Bear said: American light switches are upside down. If you walk into a room, and there is a light switch on the wall by the door, that means the light is in the ceiling. You flip the switch UP, which lets electricity go UP, to the light in the ceiling. Then when we wish to turn the light out we flip the switch DOWN, which stops the electricity from going up, and the light goes out. Are you saying that when you walk into a room with a switch on the wall, and the light is on the ceiling (it is on the ceiling, isn't it? It's not on the floor?) y'all flip the switch down?? And you think that's the way it should be? That makes sense to y'all? Ooookay 4 1 Quote

Alpo Posted August 16 Posted August 16 In America, the passenger does it. If the driver did it, he would have to stop, get out and walk up to the gate, open the gate, walk back to the truck, get in, drive through the gate, stop again, get out again, walk back to the gate, shut the gate, walk back to the truck, and finally get back in the truck. The passenger gets out of the truck, walks up to the gate, opens the gate, stands there till the truck goes through, shuts the gate, and goes get back in the truck. That's why, supposedly, the best seat in a pickup truck is in the middle. You don't have to drive, and you don't have to get out and open the gate. You just sit there and kick back and enjoy the ride. 3 Quote

That's South America inside the map of Oz. It's about the size of Montgomery County, where I live, North of Houston. That map would cover a good part of Texas, from the Gulf Coast up to Dallas. And as far West as Austin and the Hill Country. But, if you want to see the Big Bend and Terlingua, you better hurry, before the Wall is built protecting the 1000-foot cliffs from invaders! 1 Quote

I never tried to compare South America and Africa, but now that I look, they're pretty similar, overall. And that's about all I need to know about them... ...without getting political... 3 Quote

The easy way to tell them apart is that there are no rhinoceroses in South America. There are rhinoceroses in Africa. That's why over on the right side of Africa, up near the top, there's a rhinoceros horn sticking out into the ocean. It's even called The Horn of Africa. Because of rhinoceroses. If you can remember that, you will never get the two mixed up again. 2 1 Quote

EXCEPT--- Many times I have heard of people going to Hawaii, and wanting to know where they can change their American money for Hawaiian money. Many times I have heard of people that wanted to fly to New Mexico, or to place a call to New Mexico. They were told that they needed a passport. They were told that calls out of the country we're much more expensive than calls in conus. The first time I went to Puerto Rico I jokingly asked where I could change my American money for Puerto Rican money. They thought I was serious. Apparently a lot of people believe you needed to do that. My cousin in Georgia sent a present to my daughter. She was unaware that my daughter was living in Puerto Rico so she sent it to me. I took it down to FedEx to send it on down. The lady gives me a form to fill out. Listing everything that's in the box. "What is this?" Customs. "What do you mean customs?" Everything shipped out of the country has to be listed and goes through customs. "Puerto Rico is America!!" She did not believe me. I took my box back and I went down to the post office and told them I wanted to mail it to Puerto Rico when they said okay. This much postage. The world is full of morons. 4 1 Quote
