It's not a *ping* unless it's hand-crafted in the old world tradition, like grandma used to make. And it should cause a small Italian boy to run home whenever it's used.In any case, I'm just saying that I've lost faith in the *ping* industry since it was modernized. Sure pings arrive in our grocery stores, gas stations and zoos with remarkable speed now, but where's the sense of pride that comes form owning a *ping*? You just don't get that with modern, shoddy machine made *ping*'s.If that's not enough, think of the children in Yakutsk who slave away in those cramped *ping* factories for pennies a day. To make matters worse the *ping* factories are ruining the ozone layer. I'm sure we're all aware that diiscarded foreign workers are shot up into the stratosphere where they collide with ozone molecules. For pennies a day!</blockquote>
