- In trying to find a solution to its economic woes, the US has been ignoring
- strategies that have proved useful in Europe. When the wool industry in
- England was in recession hundreds of years ago, decrees were passed that, when
- you died, you had to be buried in a woollen shroud. A similar thing was done
- in France with linen.
-
- So, Americans, the answer is simple. Pass a law requiring people to be buried
- in Buicks. Not only does it stimulate the economy, but it gets the $#@!@
- things off the roads.
