I totally owned my stepmom...
My stepmom is a very conservative, religious woman. I love her to death, but sometimes she sends me the most ridiculous, right wing stuff. Most of the time I skim it and then delete it, but I felt it was too easy to point something out...
her email reads (excuse the grammar and overall bad organization of the paragraph, all she did was forward it, it's not her writing):
"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 ) filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN J OB At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made In Malaysia ), 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 ...."
My response:
"Well, it sounds to me that if he's got all that nice stuff, he's better off than just about 90% of the world
"
Her reply:
"hmm. good point."
