JD Making Tractors In China

Do you remember this one?

Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock(MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6am. While his coffeepot ( MADE IN CHINA ) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor ( MADE IN HONG KONG ). He put on a dress shirt ( MADE IN SRI LANKA ), designer jeans ( MADE IN SINGAPORE ) 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 MEXICO ) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch ( MADE INTAIWAN ) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA ) 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) and turned on his TV ( MADE IN INDONESIA ), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA

Sad but true. Several weeks ago I needed a grease gun and mine was not to be found. I got out a old grease gun my father had, which was made by Lincoln (Made in Chicago, Ill.). I cleaned it up and redid a rivet only to find that it was a hand packing gun and wouldn't take cartridges. For the past two weeks I have hunted around the hardware stores, home centers, tractor supply and automotive stores for a (Made in USA) grease gun. I found them on the internet but there were none to be found in my local shops. So now I use a (Made in China) grease gun sold buy the Lincoln company on my Kubota (made in the USA) It is a strange world we live in.
