tunnel, driving a Germancar with a Dutchengine, driven by a

Belgianwho was drunk on Scottishwhiskey, followed closely by

ItalianPaparazzi, on Japanesemotorcycles, treated by an American

doctor, using Brazilianmedicines! And this was taken from an

American, using Bill Gates' technology which he enjoyed stealingfrom the Japanese. And you are probably reading this on one of the

IBM clones that use Taiwanese-made chips, and Korean-made

monitors, assembled by Bangladeshiworkers in a Singaporeplant,

transported by lorries driven by Indians, hijacked by Pakistans,

unloaded by Sicilianlongshoremen, trucked by Mexicanillegalaliens, and finally sold to you.
