One is measured by the pound. The other is measured by the inch.

One has come from an American cow. The other has gone into an American cow.

If either one is forced on the Korean public, there will be a riot and some sort of police involvement.

One is inspected at a port of entry by a uniformed Korean government official. The other is inspected in a public restroom by the drunk ajashi in a rumpled suit standing uncomfortably close.

Korean girls will swallow imported American beef.

They both can be found at E-Mart one level below men's clothes and next to the eggs.

Korean women love American beef tail. American beef loves Korean woman tail.

Hard bone instead of soft meat is a requirement for one and an illegality for the other.

Korean girls don't squeak if filled with imported American beef.

USFK is a major supplier of both.

If you fill a Korean girl with one in the evening, you have a better chance of filling her with the other that night.

One is purchased in a glass-fronted shop with pink lights. The other MAKES a purchase in a glass-fronted shop with pink lights.

If one comes directly from Outback, a Korean girl will eat it without question. If the other comes directly from out back, she will make you wash if first.

A Korean schoolgirl has no power to reject a shipment of either one.

Koreans are unimpressed if the end of imported American beef hits the floor.

If contaminated, one must be destroyed but the other only needs a shot.

Korean girls always like it well done. They will come again. And ask for seconds.

If one is rejected, it goes to the World Trade Organization for arbitration. The other goes home with blue balls.

One is wrapped tightly in plastic and kept hard in a brown box until it's time to be eaten. No. Wait. They both are.

Ajuma can't be seen showing interest in public. Privately, she will eat as much as she can get.

They want an agreement to promote unfettered human trafficing known as the VWP. Once they get an agreement they will revert back to their mercantilistic trade practices.

A definite no-no in interference in another nation's politics. In addition,the Uri/UDP raised holy hell when it was announced.

That means if a mad cow case pops up, the beef keeps flowing. Then it said on the last line, "Seoul also reserved the right to halt quarantine inspections, which effectively stopped imports in the past." Which means it will stop the meat if it feels like it. If we understand this right, the ROK buckled to the US "no beef import -- no FTA" threat, BUT said it could put the same system to block imports if it wants to. Meaning? If the FTA doesn't go through, it is back to business as usual is the way we see it.
