    Well I'll be damned.

    I've told that to about a hundred people by now...

    CRS syndrome is the worst.

    In the years after World War II, Japan, whose manufacturing capabilities had been almost completely wiped out by Allied bombing, attempted to rebuild both their economy and their industrial base by producing large quantities of inexpensive goods and exporting them to America and other countries.

    The phrase "Made in Japan" came to symbolize cheap, shoddy goods to Americans, and eventually the rumor arose that Japan had sought to avoid this stigma by deviously renaming one of its towns "USA" so it could identify its products as being "Made in USA."

    Round shoe laces.
    sit-coms with canned laughter by jackasses from 50 years ago.

    Getting a flat tire and remembering when you open the trunk-you hadn't taken your spare in to be fixed when you last had a flat.

    Anything with .99 or 95 on the end of the sale price.

    Eating liver. (which I haven't done since gramma made me)

    May not be the worst---but that inevitable 9/10ths on gas prices--always been there.

    liver worsht, our worsht is the nation's best.
    does anything ever not have somewhere between .65, and .98 on the end of the price?
    (just round up, instead of down like they expect you to.)
    and i thought usa was a small island rather then a town. part of japan though. and i don't think they renamed it on purpose. just exploited that they had a place by that name.
