Globalization - II (Reloaded)

An American driving his German car made of Swedish steel and interiors of Argentine leather to a gasoline station, where he fills it up with Arab oil shipped in a Liberian tanker and buys two French tires, composed of rubber from Sri Lanka. Returning at home, he drops his Moroccan briefcase, hung up his Scottish tweed coat, removes his Italian shoes and Egyptian cotton shirt, then dons a Hong Kong robe and matching slippers from Taiwan. More comfortable now, he pours a cup of hot Brazilian coffee into an English coffee mug, set a Mexican place mat on an Irish linen tablecloth atop a Danish table varnished with linseed oil from India. Then he fills his Austrian pipe with Turkish tobacco, lits it, and picks up a Japanese ballpoint pen with which he writes a letter to his congressman >>> demanding to know why the United States has an unfavorable balance of trade ???.
