A recent study conducted by Harvard University found that the average
American walks about 900 miles a year. Another
study by the American Medical Association found that Americans drink, on the
average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. This
means, on average, Americans get almost 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind Of Makes You Proud To Be An American!
God Bless You! Fr. Joe
