I had occasion* last week to be looking at a box of condoms.  I happened to look at the side, where the expiration** date is, and saw in big letters, "MADE IN INDIA".  Um, this is from a place where population growth has been so out of hand one would think rice is an aphrodisiac!  Well, if Indians are making condoms (and really, is the cheap labor so much of an advantage?  I didn't think these things were knit by hand...), what other misplaced products might we find?

Swimsuits from Siberia!  Try our new lineup for fall.

Jamaican ice cream - now in "pistachio hemp" and "steel drum rust"!

Need a family sedan?  Test drive the 2009 Congolese Muktamba - now with wheels!

Sweetest day is coming up!  Maybe this year you an give your gal something lacy and delicate, hand sewn in Saudi Arabia.

* - not from a bout of misplaced optimism; I was just cleaning house and reorganized the bedroom

** - yes, some people have to keep an eye on this
