A brilliant article by Sandra Tsing Loh in Financial Review today, called "Class Action"... is about the effect of the financial crisis on American society quoting awesome three books. One of them is Paul Fussell's Class: A Guide Through the American Status System. I wouldn't discuss about the book but just read this from her article:-The top class, according to Fussell, drink Scotch on the rocks in a tumbler decorated with sailboats and say "Grandfather died"; middles pronounce it""Martooni" and say "Grandma passed away";proles drink domestic beer in a can and say "Uncle was taken to Jesus"
Funny... I'm thinking about Frasier, Niles and Martin! Haahaa
