Title: The Joke of the Day
Post by: Pat Pixley on April 01, 2008, 08:24:32 pm
New TV Advertising

As you may be aware, many of us will soon get a nice rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline, it will all go to the Arabs
If we spend it on fruit and vegetables, it will all go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatamala.
If we purchase a good car, it will all go to Japan.
If we purchase useless crap, it will all go to Taiwan, and none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America; & the only way to keep that money here at home is
to spend it on prostitutes and beer ... since those are the few businesses still in the US.


My name is Elliot Spitzer, and I approved this ad.

Made me laugh   :laugh: :laugh:.

I'll stick with the beer, and maybe an old American soda or candy machine.  By the way,. isn't Miller now owned by foreigners???  Not the band, the beer??

Sadly, mills 400c is correct.  Miller is owned by SABMiller, PLC. :down:

But you can still spend that money on the many fine craft brewed American Beers! :drinking:

Pat sorry to burst your bubble :darn:  I was surprised to hear that myself.  I prefer Becks, Stella, Honkers Ale, but I usually end up with a 30 pack of Old Style, Miller lite, or MGD.  It's cheaper.

Pat, I got that in an email a few weeks ago. Hubby laughed out loud when he read it.


Sad but true, not much is made in the USA these days.  :down:
