"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....
