The modern economy amazes me

I bought one of the new iPod shuffles to take to the gym. It is so tiny you can clip it on your shirt and not worry about it while you are working out.

This little tiny piece of plastic started out in China, flew to Alaska, then flew to Indiana to clear customs, and now it will fly back to Washington to get delivered to me. Its just amazing that they just sent it 2500 miles past its intended destination just to clear customs.
