An e-mail from Joe!

"I started the day early having set my alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN)

for 6am. While my coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, I shaved

with my electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). I put on a dress shirt

(MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis

shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking my breakfast in my new electric

skillet (MADE IN INDIA) I sat down with my calculator (MADE IN

MEXICO) to see how much I could spend today. After setting my watch

(MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) I got in my car ( MADE

IN GERMANY) and continued my search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, I decided

to relax for a while. I put on my sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured

myself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on my TV (MADE IN

INDONESIA), and then wondered why I can't find a good paying job

in.....AMERICA......"

Used to be a Buy American thing. Now its a attack on all the off-shoring. I made a few slight changes....
