Express Engineering!

7 minutes??? No wonder why the wings didn't pass the stress test. Its that express engineering.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I got to wonder watching that video is it really effeciant building the parts all over europe and then shipping them?

How long before the towns get sick of the wings coming through stoping traffic at 3am.

I wonder how much all that prep adds to the cost?

those Europeans sure do look productive. wonder where they get all of that energy?

Better food, better health care, better education, shorter work days, shorter work weeks, more vacation, far less stress, and good wine.

Actually, France's obesity rate is growing at an alarming rate and if left untouched, will equal the United States rates by around 2020. They do have good wine though!

I though "French women don't get fat?":blush:

 

[XJohXJ]

Well, granted, perhaps I was a bit sophomoric and naive, so how about this: With unemployment going around 20%, they are just really, really happy to have a job at all!

However, it would be nice to be able to have a vacation every now and then, without it being involuntary (and including total loss of health care access!)

 

[MD80DRVR]

Not to mention that >40% of the French population smokes over a pack a day!

 

[aa73]

Yeah, but at least they don't exercise!

 

[Big Beer Belly]

Yeah, but at least they don't exercise!

... or bathe!


Just think of the delectable "aromas" down *there* ... from a fat, lazy, unshaven, chain-smoking, brie-eating boozer babe who hasn't seen a bar of Irish Spring in a week!
