This is much older than the last election. This is NOT an attack on President Bush as much as many Brits would like it to be.

Damn Europeans...

Hey, you British idiots: You can't revoke our independence, you never granted us our independence. We fought for it, and kicked your a$$.

[RetiredArmy]

Dudden matter how freaking old it is, these Limies have it all wrong anyway. THEY DID NOT GIVE US OUR INDEPENDENCE!!!!! WE KICKED THEIR @$$E$ OUT AND WON OUR INDEPENDENCE! They didn't GIVE us squat, except TAXES! Which by the way, for some reason, our government chose to continue to charge us for! To give to low life dead beats.

I like John Cleese.

When he does comedy.

End of sentence.

Hmm, leave it to the Brits to be so far behind the times as to not realIZE that baseball and American football are played outside the USA.

And when they decide to catch up to us on the medical proffession of dentistry maybe they can lecture us on being up to date on anything else.

Hah, revoke the Declaration of Independence?

Like you ever had a choice?

It was from the election in 2000.

Just how stupid are the Brits?

There is no way John Cleese wrote this.

John Cleese is funny.

(BTW, I'm not saying it's not funny because I find it offensive or insulting. I'm saying it's not funny because it's not funny. It's lame.)

[Centurion2000]

You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of America.

See Japan .... funny article though ... loved the part about salt in Mass. teas. HEH

[sandviper]

LMAO ---- some kind of funny!!!

You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation.

Basil Fawlty (or John Cleese) is a jagoff 'nat.

Bite me blokes. Going to cuddle up tonight with my assault rifle.

I thought this was really very funny. I enjoyed it. I'll confess when I got to the part about taking away our guns I reached for my pistol and made a threat under my breath, but then I remembered it was John Cleese and supposed to be funny and enjoyed the rest. The part about the salt being added to tea - that was pretty good. ... Still, though, knowing that they actually took peoples' guns in England makes the whole gun thing a little unnerving for me.

GB has no claim to Florida or anything west of the Mississippi (except maybe Hawaii). The Louisiana Purchase would be declared null and void since France entered a contract with an unlawful nation. Alaska was Russian, so they could make claims on it. Indeed, the west belonged to France and Spain (who we should openly encourage to flex their military muscle to try to reclaim... Hah!)

Since France, Spain and Russia likely wouldn't be able to send an occupying force to quell any resistance movements, we can readopt the Bill of Rights and call ourselves sovereign. Again.

The Western United States could then invade the East, and with the aid of resistance fighters, reclaim the land by conquest. We would then nuke the enslaving British nation to a glowing hole visible from Pluto and live happily ever after.

And we can play our football, eat our fries, and get our teeth fixed at our leisure.

The End.

Mr. Cleese, please return at once to the Ministry of Silly Walks. It is much more in keeping with your political acumen.

[TigersEye]

11. As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to all tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself.

One good idea out of sixteen. Not bad for a Brit. ;^P

Dear Basil:

It is with great regret that I must decline your offer of re-annexation to the Crown. While there may have been some benefit to that act in the glory days of Empire, no such benefit would accrue to the United States these days.

The UK is a quaint, even likable place, or would be were it not for the confounded Brits that keep cropping up every time you turn around.

I'm fairly certain that I could persuade our government to allow Great Britain entry into the Union, although I'm less sure about Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Should you decline that option, I'm afraid we'll just have to remain distant friends and allies.

Sincerely,

IronJack
