southsourcing

Instead of hiring illegal aliens to work for you in this country, this is the business practice of relocating your manufactring and labor pool to Mexico - so everything is just as cheap, and nice and legal. As coined by Stephen Colbert.

If southsourcing keeps up, illegal aliens in the US are going to need to go where the jobs are - Mexico.

Redd Foxx point

The moment when a guy realizes he's hit the point of no return during sex. Just like Fred Sanford used to say: "It's the big one... You hear that, Elizabeth? I'm comin' to you, I'm comin' home to Georgia."

Last night I brought this girl back to my place for some action... I was hoping to take my time, but early in I hit the Redd Foxx point, so what could I do? Good thing her name was Elizabeth.
