"A Government Employee & Genie"
A Government Employee sits in his office and
out of boredom, decides to see what's in his
old filing cabinet. He pokes through the contents
and comes across an old brass lamp.
"This will look nice on my mantelpiece," he
decides, and takes it home with him. While
polishing the lamp, a genie appears and grants
him three wishes.
"I wish for an ice cold diet Pepsi right now!"
He gets his Pepsi and drinks it.
Now that he can think more clearly, he states
his second wish.
"I wish to be on an island where beautiful
nymphomaniacs reside."
Suddenly he is on an island with gorgeous
females eyeing him lustfully.
He tells the genie his third and last wish: "I
wish I'd never have to work ever again."
POOF!
He's back in his government office.

"Made in America?"
Joe Smith starts the day early, having set his
alarm clock (made in China), for 600 A.M. While
his coffee pot (made in China), is perking, he puts
his blow dryer (made in Taiwan) to work and shaves
with his electric razor (made in China). He puts on
a dress shirt (made in Taiwan), his designer jeans
(made in Singapore), and a pair of tennis shoes
(made in Korea). After cooking up some breakfast
in his new electric skillet (made in Philippines), he
sits down to figure out on his calculator (made in
Mexico), how much he can spend today.
After setting his watch (made in Switzerland), to the
radio (made in China), he goes out, gets in his car
(made in Germany), goes looking as he has been
for months, for a good paying American job. At the
end of another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe
decides to relax for a while. He puts on a pair of
sandals (made in China), pours himself a glass of
wine (made in France), and turns on his TV (made
in Japan), and ponders again why he can't find a
good paying American job.
