Finally, a definition of globalization that we can all understand...

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer : Princess Diana's 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 a Canadian ,
using Bill Gates's "world flattening" technology,
and you're probably reading this from a computer with a Taiwanese chip,
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapori plant,
transported by Indian lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians ,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegal's.....

That, my friends, is Globalization!
