1. Can you run out of gas at a "fast"-food drive-in.
2. Cameras are put up at high-risk accident intersections, but kids and adults can stand in the middle of residential highways and collect money for sports, sell water, roses - and no one notices.
3. Can you buy a "Philly blunt" at gas stations, newsstands, etc., even if you're under 18.
4. Will a crack addict come up to you to sell something he already stole from you.
5. Sometimes the best "throws" at a Phillies game are when the fans are tossing visiting-team home-run balls back out on the field.
6. Can you get a cable bill sent to you for next month while you're standing in line to pay your current bill.
7. Will a mayor invite you to sit down with him at City Hall to watch "The Wire." Many guys who showed up probably said to themselves: So that's how it's done. Why watch it when you can just drive around the city, Mr. Mayor?
8. Can a major-league pitcher enter anger management for problems with his wife, get a raise, tell his team he doesn't want to be a starter and still be here.
9. Can an unaccomplished basketball player who happens to have the same initials as a superstar (who Larry Brown drafted and didn't build around) turn down $57 million when all he does is dunk. Duh!
10. Can an ex-major-league pitcher become an expert analyst and tell us how home runs are hurting us and you have to get the ball over the plate! Somewhere Joe Carter is still laughing.
