I never heard that one before! Lol!
I actually heard that inside an Intel factory in Malasia.
I went to a factory in Malaysia too, about 25-30 years ago. It was a National Semiconductor Assembly Plant, located in the industrial park within a few miles of the Komtar in Penang. Stayed at the Equatorial, a nice place. Used to hit an old dumpy bar called "The Ship" that served beer and wasn't too far from the hotel. I saw a chinese guy there that looked like a chinese Lurch from the Munsters. Tall but very thin ... very unusual looking chinaman. I remember landing at the airport, military guys with guns everywhere there, to keep the locals away from the westerners I guess. When I flew out, half of the plane looked like it was full of refugees or something. Poorly dressed, thin and many were coughing or sickly. I was wondering if I would end up with tuberculosis from that ride.
Wow. Yea, that isn't far from the free trade zone where I would go, incidentally about the same time. Small world.
