- Yo, Don, who's waving more flags than YOU?
-
- For Gawd's sake, you win a Superbowl and it's like the end of the world as
- we know it... Imagine if you succeed in something more important, i.e.
- in lowering the stiff taxes you folks pay (you know, the ones that
- force each and every Canadian to take monthly pilgrim tours to the
- Buffalo, NY Service Merchandise and Target stores to avoid paying
- taxes on Walkman and the such...)
-
- As for *your* choice for a Japanese car, I heard it scores dead last in
- all the comparisons with its (equally Japanese) brethren... What gives?
-
- Sorry for the personal flame; I just can't stand calling everyone else
- a flag waiver and sticking a canadian flag in your .sig. The only one
- worse than that is the guy asking whether to buy a Camry or an Accord
- with an equally elaborate 10-line American flag in his .sig. Happened
- last year, we all got a good laugh at it at the office.
-
- Cheers,
-
- Spiros (not waiving any flags at the present)
