	The Japanese think that they will dominate the world of fuzzyness
	because as one of my japanese professor friends said "we think like
	fuzzy logic, you americans cannot, so therefore we shall dominate it"

	So, as a tribute to my japanese friend, here are some examples of
	fuzzy thinking:

	the vacuum sweeper:
		"I'd love to vacuum under ordinary circumstances, but i'm
		sorry to say i'm just not in the mood today".

	the television:
		"The programs being aired are totally unsuitable for viewing,
		so I really must make the decision to take the day off".

	the telephone(while your on it):
		"Since this conversation is taking a turn for the worse, i'll
		have to end it momentarily".

	Your discusion:
		"...I was really thrilled when I first bought all these
		fuzzy-login appliances.  You know, they approximate human
		judgment and subjective choice.  But now i'm not so sure..."

	the hair dryer:
		"I have determined that your hair is not quite wet enough to
		be properly dried".

	and

	the washing machine:
		"After examining your laundry i've come to the conclusion that
		I don't want to wash it".


	So when you go down to buy your japanese made (americans don't make
	anything) appliance just remember the lessons here "Your next enemy
	may be your telephone or some other uninvited guest appliance".
