Finally,
a definition of globalization that I can
understand and to which I now can
relate:

Question:
What is the truest definition of
Globalization?

Answer
Princess Dianas death.
Question:
How come?
Answer :
An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes
in a French tunnel,
driving a
German car with a
Dutch engine,
driven by a
Belgian who was drunk on
Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling),
Followed closely by
Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian
medicines.

This is sent to you by

an American,
Using Bill Gate's technology,
And you're probably reading this on your computer
that uses Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor,
Assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a
Singapore plant, transported
by Indian lorry-drivers,
Hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by
Sicilian longshoremen,
And trucked to you by Mexican illegal.... .
That, my friends,
is Globalization!
