Knives are OK

like reading CRaPUSA.com
Ahhh, the joy of travel and especially the TSA. I recently returned from LA and naturally encountered the joy of going thru security at an airport.  I usually fly American Airlines to and from LA and am pretty used to the nonsense we all go through during the security checkpoint.
     
The humiliation of taking off our shoes, belts, jackets, everything from our pockets, wallet, money, keys, change, etc.  (and that is just the guy stuff)  and finally going thru those detector booths, while trying to look at those bus-boy trays that have all our personal stuff in them.
     
I don't know about you, but I have it down to a science and now just grin and bear it.......BUT.....the other day I neglected to take off my watch while going thru the booth.  I picked up my arms as instructed and went right through. I then picked up my bus-boy bin (minus the dirty dishes), and put all my stuff back in my pockets, put on my shoes, put on my belt, put on my jacket, put away my Ipad and took my smart phone.....I was done........
       
But Holy Shit....I realized something very interesting.....I had left on my watch...I still cannot believe that all my stuff went along the conveyor belt, I went thru the scanning machine, and not a single fucking idiot TSA agent noticed or said anything about my watch being on....I am still in shock....There could have been a bomb in my watch and not one person said a thing. ????  Naturally you can't even take a bottle of water thru the checkpoint...
       
But don't fret.....we can now take aboard and through security certain type of Knives......
       
Something is certainly fucked up with air travel...
      
The only thing to do is keep your fucking mouth closed and listen to the idiots....
      God Bless America.........

The Boobs have Returned

Made Where ?  In China........of course it is.  It's made in China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, India, Brazil, and a shitload of other countries around the world.  Now what are we talking about ?

      Why are these dumb fucking lawmakers in Congress so out to get Ralph Lauren ?  Who really gives a shit where anything is made today ?  All that really counts is the final product and if the company producing it is making money.  And why are all the lawmakers bitching about this Democrats ?     Why, Why, Why ?
        The Olympics are the Olympics and there are representatives from most countries. Why single out where any of this shit is made ?  I know about the apparel business as I was in it my entire career.  In fact, I was in the Men's Neckwear business to be precise.  When I started my own company in the late 70's, almost all of the men's production of everything was Made in the USA.....I was in business for less than 2 years when I decided to stop making my production in America and moved everything to Italy.  Why.....?????  because of the stupid fucking unions that made it impossible to do anything.  There were so many problems with the union, that I just got on a plane one day and said that is it...Fuck you America and your unions as well.  For the next 20 years I made everything in Italy, had a distribution center only in NY, paid everyone way over union scale, and enjoyed the fruits of a wonderful business.
         Then Italy became too expensive and my competition began making merchandise in Korea, China, and other Far Eastern countries where labor was cheaper.....Lets face it.....That is the American Way.
         So now that I have gotten off the subject lets jump right back in...Mr. Lawmakers, Mr Newspapers, and Mr. and Mrs. Know it all's that are picking on Ralph Lauren......Shut the Fuck Up.....Look at the suit your wearing, or the dress, or the jeans, or the cell phone you are talking from, or the TV you watch at night, or your entertainment center, your computer, your watch, your eyeglasses, your appliances in your home, your quality automobiles, your medications......OK....I guess you get the point.....America is a wonderful country, but lets get the facts correct and know that manufacturing is under 10% Made in America for most of the above categories.

        
So if any of you genius's that are upset about this uniform nonsense being made somewhere else....................................well that is your problem.......OK...I am calm now.....Maybe we need to figure out as a country WHY manufacturing has left us ?   I guess Quality and Price are good enough reasons......
     

And guess where this CRaPUSA Baseball Cap is Made ???????????????  Yup China  (and it is OK if you would like to purchase one. Just click on link )
