Complaining

Fred Borden says that when someone complains about the lanes what they are really doing is telling everyone else that they do not know how to play that lane condition.

Blame the Japanese

By George Dawson, New York Times, 1/29/92

When the 'phone is out of order, and the roof has sprung a leak,
When the money in your paycheck barely gets you through the week,
When the baby has the colic, and your dog is full of fleas,
Don't complain to Washington--just blame the Japanese.

When the crooks are running rampant, and the judges are too lax,
When letters from the IRS demand some extra tax,
When your son is quitting college, and your daughter's getting D's,
Just do what Iacocca does--and curse the Japanese.

When your taxes keep on rising, while your bank-book starts to shrink,
When pollution clouds your city, so the air begins to stink,
When the temperature is falling, and your pipes are sure to freeze,
Call upon your Congressman to bash the Japanese.

When everyone around you is complaining of the news,
And some condemn the Arabs while others blast the Jews,
Stiffen up your lip, my son, and never bend your knees--
Just be a true American, and blame the Japanese.
