Allan Sherman "The Twelve Gifts of Christmas," :thumbup:




On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A Japanese transistor radio

(On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
Green polka-dot pajamas,
(And a Japanese transistor radio)
It's a Nakashuma

(On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man
(Green polka-dot pajamas)
(And a Japanese transistor radio)
It's the Mark IV model. That's the one that's discontinued

(On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
A simulated alligator wallet
(A calendar book with the name of my insurance man)
(Green polka-dot pajamas)
(And a Japanese transistor radio)
And it comes in a leatherette case with holes in it, so you can
listen right through the case

(On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
A statue of a lady with a clock where her stomach ought to be
(A simulated alligator wallet)
(A calendar book with the name of my insurance man)
(Green polka-dot pajamas)
(And a Japanese transistor radio)
And it has a wire with a thing on one end that you can stick in your
ear, and a thing on the other end that you can't stick anywhere,
because it's bent

(On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
A hammered aluminum nutcracker
And all that other stuff
(And a Japanese transistor radio)

(On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
A pink satin pillow that says San Diego, with fringe all around it
And all that other stuff
(And a Japanese transistor radio)

(On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
An indoor plastic birdbath
(And all that other stuff)
And a Japanese transistor radio

(On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
A pair of teakwood shower clogs
(And a Japanese transistor radio)

(On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
A chromium combination manicure scissors and cigarette lighter
(And a Japanese transistor radio)

(On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me)
An automatic vegetable slicer that works when you see it on
television, but not when you get it home
(And a Japanese transistor radio)

On the twelfth day of Christmas, although it may seem strange
(Oooh-oooh)
On the twelfth day of Christmas, I'm going to exchange
An automatic vegetable slicer that works when you see it on
television, but not when you get it home
(Chromium combination manicure scissors and cigarette lighter)
A pair of teakwood shower clogs
(Indoor plastic birdbath)
A pink satin pillow that says San Diego, with fringe all around it
(Hammered aluminum nutcracker)
A statue of a lady, with a clock where her stomach ought to be
(Simulated alligator wallet)
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man
(Green polka-dot pajamas)
And a Japanese transistor radio
Merry Christmas everybody!

Most Indian stuff I've seen makes low-end Chinese stuff seem German. They might have some skilled craftsmen over there but I can't think of any mass produced product I've seen from India that's anything close to something from a developed country.

OTOH they are getting better. For example, Royal Enfield motorcycles are still pretty bad, but I think they are a whole lot better than they used to be -- you are no longer expected to do a complete engine rebuild before starting the thing for the first time.

I beg to differ on Japan. Post WWII,Germany and Japan have both turned out pretty good stuff. The British saying "Jap ****" has never been true. Japanese stuff is good.

Controversial on here I know but just my opinion

I couldn't agree more. :thumbup:

India just orbited the moon with a space probe yet has one third of all the malnourished children in the world.
Sticking your hand into a mixed up place like that and hoping to pull out a quality product has to be a real lottery...

Very sad, true and well said!
