I don't know where they were made -- at those prices, I didn't ask.

When I was single I used to go grocery shopping on Thursday nights to meet single women.
I never met anyone that I remember... Come to think of it, I can't really remember where I first met my wife...
Scary.

I tried it a couple of times, too, but when I checked out I had way more men than I had planned to pick up and the bill was higher than I anticipated.

You can just wait in the parking lot and offer the ladies help in getting their purchases up to their double wides.

I would love to have a girl made in China.
