All the Lost Socks Go to Africa...

...And everything else does too. That car you totaled? It's been patched up with duct tape and glue and is being used here as un car, a sort of informal, cheaper taxi. The car that doesn't sell in the States? It's been sold here to the wealthy with the pathetically unrealistic advertizing line "Change cars every 3 years." The clothes you gave to Good Will? If the Americans didn't want it, it will be sent to Africa and labeled "the hottest clothes just in from America" and sold. Those books your school rejects (you know, the ones you mark "Very Bad Condition")? They're being used here as English text books.
