"Job"
After being laid off from five different jobs
in four months, my Uncle Joe was hired
by a warehouse.
One day he lost control of a forklift and
drove it off the loading dock.
Surveying the damage, the owner shook
his head and said he'd have to withhold
10 percent of Uncle Joe's wages to pay
for the repairs.
"How much will it cost?" asked my uncle.
"About $4,500," said the owner.
"What a relief!" exclaimed Uncle Joe.
"I've finally got job security!"

"Made In ????"
Joe Smith started the day early having set
his alarm clock (Made In Japan) for 6am.
While his coffeepot ( Made In China) was
perking coffee from Columbia, he shaved
with his electric razor (Made In Hong Kong).
He put on Towncraft brand underwear (Made
In Mexico) a dress shirt (Made In Sri Lanka),
designer jeans (Made In Singapore),
socks (Made In Hong Kong) 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 Taiwan) to listen to the
radio (Made In Japan) and eat a tomato
(Grown In Mexico).
Later he got in his car (Made In Germany)
(filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia) and
continued his search for a good paying
AMERICAN JOB .
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), turned on his TV (Made In Indonesia),
and wondered why he can't find a good
paying job in AMERICA ...
