1. A new Computer Engineer went to USA from INDIA for first time on his company's assignment. He went to a Supermarket, to purchase items for his house.
At the checkout, the girl at the counter asked him, “Plastic or Paper". [She meant, whether he wants a Plastic Bag or a Paper Bag].
The Engineer couldn’t understand what she was asking. He replied, "I am new to USA, I don't have credit card, I brought some travelers check." [He thought she was asking whether he will pay by [Plastic (Credit Card (Plastic) or cash (paper) ]
The same Engineer goes to a fast food shop and ordered Pizza. The girl at the counter asked him,"here or to go". [She meant whether he will eat at the restaurant or he will take away.]
The Engineer couldn't understand what she was asking. He replied, "You see, I have just come on a H1B visa for one year. I don't know whether it will be extended or not. So I don't know, I will be here or to go back!" [He thought she was asking whether he will be living in USA or going out!]
2. Why Are Americans Jobless?
Greg started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN PHILIPPINES). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN VIETNAM). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA), then he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) 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), Greg 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 KOREA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA.
And now he is hoping he can get help from his president (MADE IN KENYA)
