TRIVIA(L) TIME

What is the best definition of globalization

Answer: The death of Princess Diana! 

Question: How come?

Answer: An English princess, with an Egyptian boyfriend crashed in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whiskey; followed closely by Italian paparazzis in Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor using Brazilian medicines.
     
Moreover, this event is sent to you by an Ethiopian, who is operating from South Africa, using Indian technology, and you’re probably reading this on your computer that uses chips from Taiwan and a Korean monitor assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant transported by Pakistani truck drivers unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and transported to you by Mexican illegal immigrants. That is Globalization!

The Price of Gas – A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louver. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured 2 blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make an obvious error, he replied, “Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings. I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.” So, if you have De Gaulle to send this to someone else, I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse.
