    Job Losses

    received this from a friend



    Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA ) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor! (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA ). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat! down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless
    day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in.....AMERICA.....

    That was a nice post, Mamie. Only problem is that it reminds me of the daggone Mr. Coffee that I bought at Wal-Mart that was made in China. I've already had to call Sunbeam, the manufacturer, THREE times to have them send me a new carafe because every single one has LEAKED. ALL OF THEM. And, the last one does too!

    I looked on the bottom of mine and it's pretty grimy. What does that mean?
