    Back in Xiaohanfong, they would have DIED to get the countertop of their dreams.

    Maybe she was the quality control person in charge of her factory’s production line and was on an inspection of the imported goods, climbing over the stacked products.

    Not all Chinese products kill. Some just maim for life.

    I wonder if the Bungee cord was made in China?

    Sorry Johnny to disappoint.

    Like the Madras plaid, denim (originally Dungarees), and the Bombay, all of these products were invented or at least mass-produced in India.

    Bungee was the center of the India Rubber Plant area in Punjab. The cord was initially used by local children as a safe, clean and effective method of tripping the local cows before they wandered out onto the road, where they could be easily killed by stampeding elephants on alternating Tuesdays.

    I am always curious why people put stupid comments on a site that is for professional insurance people.

    Because most professional insurance people are stupid or we would not be in this business!

    You may be “interested” but you are NOT interesting.

    Do you honestly believe that many of the articles in this publication are worth extended dialogue?

    Some, admittedly, but they are the exception. And frankly being silly or inane helps break up the monotony of policy checking. It’s creativity time and beats the crayons I ate yesterday.

    Settle with the lady yes and award something for extended pain. But 3.2M? Wonder why insurance rates are so high, duh.

    Howie, you should be happy you had crayons to eat. We’re lucky to have ear wax here!

    Howie and Ha!
    Love the crayon coments. I keep thinking my CRS’s must be in some romper room over there. Guess it’s not to only office.
    Thanks for making my day.

    Oh you silly person.

    It’s not racism. It’s equal opportunity sarcasm. Would it be racism if I were Chinese? For all I know the woman’s ancestors could have arrived here in the US before mine did.

    Sorry if you were offended. Do you laugh at other stories?

    Its a pity the article says nothing about this lady’s age. Certainly, if she were of child bearing age, her future child bearing would be affected. Maybe if the injured person was a guy getting some of his private parts injured, you men would have more sympathy.

    I really hate how the word racism is used by illiterates. It is losing its important meaning.
    Racism is the belief that your genetic pool/race is suprerior to other races. There is nothing racist is any of the comments mentioned here Chinese. Simply saying someone is silly and chinese is not racist. Bigoted? perhaps. Ethnocentric? maybe. Insensitive? yes. But not racist in any stretch of the imagination. Go buy a dictionary.
