Hi,
 I rarely reply to off subject postings, but the international reach of
this list begs a little humor.
 First, a bad pun:   " The insult is in the ire of the beholder"  :-/

While I was waiting for a rental car the customer ahead of me was given a
Toyota. In a loud and angry voice he told the agent that he didn't want a
'rice-grinder', he wanted an American car. The rental agent, with a smile
on his face, gave the customer a Chevy Spectrum instead of the Toyota.
The customer was satisfied and went on his way, not aware that he was
driving an Isuzu I-Mark with an American name on it!
 The other side of the coin: There is a garage here called 'The Jap
Shop'. They specialize in repairing Japanese labeled cars. Many of their
customers I'm sure are unaware that most of these cars are made right
here in the U. S.

Regards, David Quackenbush
