Okay, fair enough, but I have a soft spot for Reader's Digest. When I was growing up in a small country a long time ago on a continent far away, Reader's Digest was a window into american life in easy-to-understand English. The coupons were for unimaginably weird stuff like Jello (I had no idea what it was, but the colours looked neat) and a zillion different kinds of painkiller (we just had aspirin). The stories were full of bizzare-to-me pre-occupations, like how to chose the right dentist.

And I still remember some of the funny stories. Here's one for any of you doing user support:

Two older folk are traveling and end up in this bar. It's packed, the music is so loud the poor waitress has trouble getting the orders right and the clientele is a bit rowdy. When the waitress comes to take their order, the old lady sympathetically says "My, you have a lot patience!" The waitress drops her voice and hisses "Shhh! We're supposed to call them customers!".

It's too much debt out there.
