As an american I also want to just sit around. I must be an arab. Too bad we have the highest number of work hours in the world (yey! USA numba 1!! Even ahead of Japan!) So no chance of that. Chance of dying from heart attack - pretty high. Pass me some donuts and coffee - no time for lunch!! That is funny.

I can't repeat it for a obvioius reasons, but it began with something about "loose shoes."
