Funny John Deere story:
When I was working at the JD training center in Waterloo, I asked the guy I
worked with (one of their corporate training managers) what they did in
countries where there were no turtles or rabbits, the icons they use on their
throttle bezels. He said they research what animals are similar in the local
culture and make stickers to go over the rabbit and turtle.
