Thank you, but my heart is still breaking over that billboard.

Maybe you'll like this story: Years ago I made frequent business trips to London. One day the cabbie was going off about how the U.S. had race riots. He smugly informed me that they 'didn't have that problem and everyone gets along'. I asked him how many black cabbies there were and he acted surprised. I asked him if he was willing to set aside 10% of the cabbie jobs for blacks. He seemed surprised again. I told him, politely but firmly, that the reason they 'all get along' is because 'they' were all white and when and if they ever let people in from all over the world then he might experience a new situation. I'll never forget the smug look on that bast***d's face and I hope he's wiping the floor for some foreigner now. Made me feel good. They're just jealous because they are now trying to figure out how to handle things that we've been handling for two hundred years.

Years ago, I was at a forum on British tv at the New York Museum of Broadcasting. Two or three panelists (John Mortimer was one) was going on about how silly and childish American television was. Finally, a man in the back of the audience called out, "Not like Benny Hill, of course..." To be fair, the British panelists laughed out loud at that and David Frost leapt to our defense.
