Um, didn't we just get a contract with a big manufacturer
in China? Hope we perform well.
Now *that's* a reorganization.

The story is true, but it happened during the Cultural Revolution of
the 1960s.
Not exactly up-to-date stuff.

Ammo is an expensed item - no need for charges.
re .8
Sell lottery tickets with winners on the 'Termination Team.'
Income covers the costs of ammo.
Sell rights food/souvenir concessions to make a profit from the event!

re .12
The story was reported ten or more years ago in the local press.
I accepted those reports as true.
After all, why would I question it? Any political regime that had
no compunctions about killing thousands or hundreds of thousands of
perceived enemies among their own people would doubtless not hesitate
to commit such an act.
Or do you expect me to prove the atrocities of the Cultural Revolution
too?

Don't know if it's true or not, but like .3 and others said, it's been
around the block a few times on the net. I saw it over a year or
so ago.

I was in a shopping mall once that was blocked off while security
looked for a kidnapped little boy. While waiting, I was charged $200 for
the Mrs. Fields cookie recipe! After that outrage, a boil on my face I
got while on vacation in Tarongananga broke and little spiders crawled
out! Sheez. Finally, security announced they found the little boy in the
ladies room dressed up like a little girl and we were allowed to go home.

ghost of a little girl hichhiking home ...

Right. And lots of urban legends, too.
Some of which are far from urbane.
Sort of suburbane? :-)

I think this is a false news. I had been living in Beijing until 1989.
I have never heard of it. Another doubt is that in 1960s Chinese people
don't have refrigerators at homes. There was hardly any refrigerator
industry in China in 1960's.

| O.K., now that this thing has been reasonably debunked, and the
information content is fast approaching zero, I'm going to write-lock
this topic.
As usual, if someone has a good reason to reopen this topic, send any
of the moderators mail and we will consider the request.
