btw, those stats you posted show the US as the worst in the world. Does anyone believe that?

You give no citation for those very strange numbers. Those stats are biased w/o a doubt and probably came from a group that are known primarily for their dissembling.

...so I have been told.
When I was a first-year grad student, our Shipping&Receiving person was this Midwestern gal, not much older than we. She was attractive in that wholesome farmgirl way, and by reports she was straitlaced as befits a good agrarian Lutheran.
One day, I was b.s.ing with another chemist when the Package Gal came on through with little christmas presents from chemical&glassware firms. Other chemist said something <imho> unneccessarily descriptive (about something totally unralated to anything) and I nonverbally communicated my disgust. Next thing I know is that Package Gal is looking up into my face with wide eyed curiosity. Softly and quite matter-of-factly she states "Alex, you have a very long tongue." Other chemist (whose mind is performing predictable perversioms) guffaws. I (whose mind's corrupt nature is a matter of record here) am nonplussed. I'm blushing beet'red. I executed a hasty retreat.
