love the Italians and the New Zealanders. How does that square with the All Blacks??
Perhaps you'd better not tell it to an All Black. The US corporation is defined thus:
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.
I think the Italians have it right!
Ah those hilarious Yanks....
Have a good trip and say 'G'day' to Melbourne for me!
Are you over there for Christmas? If so, enjoy the barbe. If not, I'll drop a Christmas card through the door for you and Bobby.
God Bless.

And in the US they have 2 cows and everyone believes it when they say they are worth 7 billion dollars.
In Japan they have two cows, but one dies from over-work, and the other to save face.
Thank you for that, Our Man!
