I think we whine too much in this country. We have it pretty good here and I think folks fail to realize that. I’d enjoy while we can, because this ‘Empire’ of ours isn’t going to last forever. The Europeans are just waiting for us to slip up. Anyway, like I said I think we got it good, because there are a lot of other countries that don’t. Two words: TOLIET PAPER. I feel that if a country has toilet paper all of their citizens should not be allowed to bitch. Hell, we got double ply, extra soft, and even toilet paper with illustrations on it, just make us feel at home. We got toilet paper so soft you could make a pillow out it. We got toilet paper so durable you could make a sweater out of it. There’s a point and I’m getting to it. I heard recently that in some countries people wipe their butts with their hands. Their hands! Just because they don’t have toilet paper. Sounds pleasant, yes? That’s why in these countries it is not their custom to shake hands as a greeting. Makes lovely sense. And by the way, I am by no means ridiculing other cultures. So, next time the AC repairman arrives twenty minutes late, don’t bitch him out. Just remember that you have toilet paper.
