USA To Return To British Rule

My brother sent this to me today. We thought it was hilarious!
It’s just a joke! I DID NOT put this here with intent to offend citizens of the United States.
To the citizens of the United States of America:-
In the light of your failure to elect a proper President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. You should look up “revocation” in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up “aluminium”. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be Amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter ’U’ will be reinstated in words such as ’favour’ and ’neighbour’, skipping the letter ’U’ is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell ’doughnut’ without skipping half the letters. You will end your love affair with the letter ’Z’ (pronounced ’zed’ not ’zee’) and the suffix “ize” will be replaced by the suffix “ise”. You will learn that the suffix ’burgh ’is pronounced ’burra’ e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as ’Pittsberg’ if you can’t cope with correct pronunciation. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up “vocabulary”. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as “like” and “you know” is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up “interspersed”. There will be no more ’bleeps’ in the Jerry Springer show. If you’re not old enough to cope with bad language then you shouldn’t have chat shows. When you learn to develop your vocabulary then you won’t have to use bad language as often.
2. There is no such thing as “US English”. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter ’u’ and the elimination of “-ize”.
3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn’t that hard. English accents are not limited to Cockney, upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents - Scottish dramas such as “Taggart” will no longer be broadcast with subtitles. While we’re talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is “Devon”. If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become “shires” e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire.
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English characters. British sit-coms such as “Men Behaving Badly” or “Red Dwarf” will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who can’t cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.
5. You should relearn your original national anthem, “God Save The Queen”, but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through.
6. You should stop playing American “football”. There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American “football” is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays “American” football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American “football”, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005. 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. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls’ game called “rounders” which is baseball without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.
7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. The 97.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. “Merde” is French for “Shit”. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because we don’t believe you are sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called “Indecisive Day”.
9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips. Fries aren’t even French; they are Belgian though 97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium. Those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called “crisps”. Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer, which should be served warm and flat. Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.
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.
12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer, is not actually beer at all, it is lager. From November 1st only proper British Bitter will be referred to as “beer”, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as “Lager”. The substances formerly known as “American Beer” will henceforth be referred to as “Near-Frozen Knat’s Urine”, with the exception of the product of the American Budweiser Company whose product will be referred to as “Weak Near-Frozen Knat’s Urine”. This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.
13. From December 1st the UK will harmonise petrol (or “Gasoline” as you will be permitted to keep calling it until April 1st 2005) prices with the former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA and the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US gallon - get used to it).
14. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you’re not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you’re not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you’re not grown up enough to handle a gun.
15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us crazy.
Tax collectors from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).
Best wishes
The HOME OFFICE

While I found some of that funny
I’d like to see England try it. You’d be surprised at how quickly the “Boston Tea Party” would look like a picnic in the park.
RoxHard said on November 23, 2004 03:56:
it’s a joke... don’t take it too seriously...
and I think that America could benefit from some of these “suggestions”.
it’s always nice to be able to spell “doughnut”! ;-)
Oldag75 said on November 23, 2004 12:49:
Don’t rush things – let’s see how the soccer-riot concept works for our professional basketball games. It’s off to a good start (Indiana and Detroit)... but still lacking an appropriate level of spectator involvement.
Vixzter said on November 23, 2004 17:04:
I do so love the fact that Americans have no sense of humour what so ever!
Vixzter said on November 23, 2004 17:09:
And i do whole heartdly and totaly agree with this statement....
“American Beer” will henceforth be referred to as “Near-Frozen Knat’s Urine”
LOLOLOL
harsh but fair! ;)
now lets see how many flames I get for that and my last comment.
coyboyusa said on November 23, 2004 17:27:
dear vix oh we do have humour lol but sometimes it comes at the ti[ of a gun lol KIDDING :)
Vixzter said on November 23, 2004 23:31:
why do you think we lost over 200 years ago ..... we could see where you were heading and thought ’ get the hell out of here’ !!
;)
Jud (moderator) said on November 23, 2004 23:32:
hm.. but Austrian/German beer is good.. at least that’s the only beer I like because it’s not so strong :P
btw, the British still with their fight against la France? ;)
Vixzter said on November 23, 2004 23:34:
oh god yea, can’t stand em (i speak for me personaly not the entire british nation) ;)
RoxHard said on November 24, 2004 02:09:
Everyone knows the French are pig-headed to foreigners. And, with us being so close to them and experiencing this so regularly, we naturally return the favour... ;-)
ncurran said on November 24, 2004 05:15:
the hatred towards the french is an english thing, not a british one. The Scots and french are old allies. I have no problem with them...they just dont like the english. Go over to france and say you’re scottish and youre treated like a king
Vixzter said on November 24, 2004 07:02:
well good for you ;)
the english don’t like the french and the french don’t like the english its a mutual kind of dislike
and please don’t tell me the french love us coz that simply isn’t true, if you attempt french they look at you with contempt and then if u try and say what you mean in english they look at you with disgust so why bother in the first place? ;)
but i like the fact that their booze is cheap :) woo hoo
Jud (moderator) said on November 24, 2004 07:11:
LOL this is funny :D I actually have been in Paris a couple of times and didn’t like the city a lot. Dirty! it was in different seasons and the air was always stuck and sky with that big pollution cloud.. yuk.
I tried to speak with a couple of French asking for directions in English and they both ignored me. Then I asked the next people in Catalan (which is a bit similar) and they were fine with it :D THey must have thought I am learning French LOL!
Back to topic:
I had a great laugh with the language jokes :D I have been in touch with quite some American people because of the hosting of my websites and man!!!! they can’t write. Instead of your they write “you’re” or instead of “you’re” they write “your”, they confuse where and were, not to say they simply ignore the ’ in I’ll, you’ll etc... :O Learn the basics of your language! :O Ah yes, and my fave, “she don’t” erh..? :D
StillFar said on November 24, 2004 13:36:
LOL! One of my friends (from France) would say that “first they’re (England/USA/Canada/...) unable to create their own language and base a big part of their vocabulary on ours and then they have the balls to insult it with their pronunciation. Why should I speak my language in a more primitive form?”
coyboyusa said on November 24, 2004 15:16:
hmmm thats why the brotosh”empire” was run by an incestuous family and now only inclued england and ireland :)
Rich-UK said on November 24, 2004 15:25:
LOL! You should at least have the decency to include Scotland and Wales! :-P Rich
Vixzter said on November 24, 2004 17:09:
coy: thats coz we saw what was gonna happen to the US so we dumped it ;)
ncurran said on November 24, 2004 17:13:
coyboy, learn some geography...scotland and wales arent part of england, as rich said. Its bloody annoying when americans make this mistake
Vixzter said on November 24, 2004 17:14:
@stilly: like i say....why bother to learn french, they don’t appreciate when you try and they don’t like it when you don’t
you’re dammed if you do and you’re dammed if you don’t kind of situation ;)
Vixzter said on November 24, 2004 17:18:
see not even the scots like us english and they have to live next door ;P well......we have to live next door to them and wales so...think ureself lucky scotland!! ;) and we’re closer to france ;)
and this topic just keeps making me laugh more and more
;)
ncurran said on November 24, 2004 17:48:
Lol Vix....i’ll tell u a joke. You might of heard it before, but i still think its pretty funny.
When God created the world, he created a land with stunning scenery, beautiful countryside and untouched magnificent beauty. He then created people to live there, making them very friendly and an easy going people, who would live in harmony and lead a great life. He decided to name this land “Scotland”.
One of his angels was a little confused and concerned. She asked God, “Father, this place you have named Scotland. You seem to have made it too perfect. These people will feel like they are living in heaven on earth”
God replied with an evil laugh, “Ha ha ha, just wait until you see the neighbours I’ve given them!”
Vixzter said on November 24, 2004 18:11:
hadn’t heard that one b4 LOL
anyways living next door to wales....you’d think they’d charge you to get out of wales but no....you have to pay to go in to it! ( on the severn bridge that is) change it round thats what i say ;) or better still make it a toll both ways ;)
tis funny if anyone ever asks where i’m from i say England yet in the Olympics i’m a Brit .....work that out ;) and i was so cheering for that curling team in the winter Olympics (whenever it was) see scots all of them LOL ure the only ones mad enough to slide a big round thing down a runway of ice ;)
i still dont think the english hate the scots as much as they hate the french though. ;)
Vixzter said on November 24, 2004 18:12:
btw....
9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
classic!! ROFLOL
LittleSpooky said on November 25, 2004 03:04:
Of course Vix... you’ve never driven a REAL American car. This was before that Japanese / Korean shit that is produced now. I’m talking cars made from 1950 - 1979 *MAYBE* 1983 at the latest.
Now THOSE were cars. And I’ll take my 72 Cutlass over any “German Engineering” anyday. Know why? Most of the German cars are now being MADE IN MEXICO!!!!
RoxHard said on November 25, 2004 03:37:
American cars = hood would fall off if a leaf fell off it...
I’m quite surprised how some people here will very quickly resort to racism and slagging off another country to get their point across...
LittleSpooky said on November 25, 2004 05:41:
RoxHard: I’ll tell you like I told Vix... never drove a REAL car, have you? And I’m right when I say the shit that comes from Japan / Korea. Daewoo? That’s a joke and a half. Kia? That’s a coffin on wheels. KIA stands for one thing and one thing only:
K = Killed
I = In
A = Action
I’ve owned THREE damn fine pieces of machinery in my life.
1974 Ford Maverick - 4 door version of the Ford Mustang. It had the 4 cyl. engine removed and a 302 V8 dropped into it. It out ran most of the crap out on the road today. The only things to put it to paces was the high performance cars like Ferrari, Porche.
1987 GMC 3/4 Ton work truck. I drive that now. Some dick-head side swiped me with a 4 door Dodge Neon because he didn’t bother checking the mirror before changing lanes at 70mph. Buff out the scratch on my truck. Yanked his mirror CLEAN OFF THE SIDE OF HIS CAR.
1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass - STOCK 350 engine. Automatic transmission. Romp on the gas: Will “chirp” the tires as it upshifts the gears. I don’t bother with that unless I’m racing, cuz I don’t have the cash to burn on rubber every other week.
Wanna continue to be a jerk about it? I’m entitled to my opinion, just like you. I think most of the cars that are built today are shit.
I’ve seen pix of the “concept” cars for the Pontiac GTO... that’s offensive to everything the GTO stood for. But then again... most people don’t understand muscle cars. You appear to be one.
Vixzter said on November 25, 2004 07:31:
Shit comes from Japan, thats why theres massive American car clubs for Toyota Supra’s and MR2’s in the USA ;)
if i carried on like this the list wud be too long ;)
Mazda RX-7’s also have a club i think ;)
but i can agree about Daewoo ;)
Starrox said on November 25, 2004 08:21:
> Most of the German cars are now being MADE IN MEXICO!!!!
Uhm, no, not really!
LittleSpooky said on November 25, 2004 08:37:
Volkswagen Beetle
Pueblo, Mexico.
Heard it on German radio
Starrox said on November 25, 2004 08:49:
That is one model out of who knows how many! And VW isn’t the only German brand... ;-)
ncurran said on November 25, 2004 13:45:
maybe thats why the quality of german cars has gone down in recent years.
But the reliability of Japanese and Korean cars is the best in the world....FACT.
German cars used to be good...american cars have always been crap
LittleSpooky said on November 25, 2004 17:14:
And I’ll tell you like I told RoxHard and Vix:
You’ve NEVER driven a muscle car have you?
And until you have, don’t say that “American cars have always been crap”.
ncurran said on November 25, 2004 20:32:
WTF is a “muscle car”....dont need one of them to prove i’m a man thankyou. I find the american obsession with driving big cars a bit pathetic
RoxHard said on November 25, 2004 23:09:
Isn’t Daewoo run by General Motors? Does that make it an American made car?
I find this insulting of Asian cars to be juvenile. Come on! How many light years are the Japanese ahead of us! They have things in their cars that we can barely imagine! They’ve invented a lot of things that we all now make “as-standard” in all our cars, thank you...
LittleSpooky said on November 25, 2004 23:31:
RoxHard: And have you had one break down on you in the middle of no-where and you can’t fix it because you don’t have a computer for diagnosis? Everything now a-days is computer run. Give me a REAL car that doesn’t require a computer to tell me that the oil is low, or that the door is open, or my seatbelt is off.
I’m smarter than that, I know this. I KNOW how to TAKE CARE of my car. I say the same thing for the German stuff being put out today, I’m not knockin Asian specifically. I’m knockin ALL cars that require computers.
Ncurran: If you don’t understand the concept of muscle cars, you never will. It’s not something one can explain.... one has to feel it. And it has nothing to do with proving manhood because I am a woman and I love muscle cars. As for being “obsessed with driving”, well... you’d never understand it because it’s only something us “pathetic” people do. Not for the likes of you.
Vixzter said on November 25, 2004 23:38:
Mmmm my Jap car isn’t computer run, not young enough to be ;)
on_a_mission said on November 26, 2004 00:03:
hey! here’s a post from a scot! oam! I don’t hate the english, that’s just daft! oam
Vixzter said on November 26, 2004 07:12:
oam: i dont hate scots either its just neighbourly banter ;)
ncurran said on November 26, 2004 08:04:
exactly vix, i wouldnt be talking to you if i hated the english :P
no harm in slagging each other off though...though i have to admit it gets a bit tiring after a while when one of my english friends continually calls me sweaty (sweaty sock....jock) First time i’d heard that this year, but now i get it continuously
coyboyusa said on November 26, 2004 16:50:
u people need glasses i never said scotland and whales are part of england christ lol now who has now humour and jesus christ get over the car thing u morons lol
purplemedusa said on November 26, 2004 16:59:
Oi... what’s happening to TDR? *pass some happy-pills ’round!*
Vixzter said on November 26, 2004 17:24:
see.....coy.... you just demonstrated another case of sense of humour failure! ;)
Jud (moderator) said on November 26, 2004 17:50:
LOL I hope american cars aren’t like that pimp MTV show :D *muahahahaha*
The one that shocked me the most was that car that was 2 halfs of 2 cars put together *muahahaha* Whatever american cars are good or not, that crap wouldn’t be allowed to drive here :D
I never drove a German car but I think they charge more for the brand than anything else.
Example: when I was looking for a car in 99 I looked at Seat Ibiza and VW Polo among others.
SEAT is owned by VW (or are a group. whatever), Ibiza and Polo should be equivalent. They have the same engine (VW). Ibiza costed about 6000 Euro (!!) LESS.
I have recently heard the same about the Skoda and VW, the engines are the same and don’t ask me what models, but both are produced in Czech Republic, just that you pay more for a VW ;)
I like these 4x4 cars - hope I can get one of those one day :D
roxlad said on November 26, 2004 20:51:
I’ll stick to my Italian car FIAT Punto (probably made in Poland he he :-)))) )
ncurran said on November 26, 2004 20:57:
*u people need glasses i never said scotland and whales are part of england *
well read again what you wrote...that the british empire consisted of england and ireland....yeah we all know that the british empire doesnt exist anymore, thank god, but from your words it sounds like you are including scotland and wales into “england”....if not then why do you say england and ireland. Only northern ireland is part of the UK anyway.
LittleSpooky said on November 26, 2004 21:10:
I remember a radio station’s “jingle” from when I lived over in England:
“England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales.... National Radio 1-more ti-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-me.”
NR1 still there?
Vixzter said on November 26, 2004 21:46:
oh god yea Radio 1 still lives......unfortunately load of bollox that it is! ;-)

I bet spades to diamonds that it’s changed since 85 - 87.
Lemme go see
ncurran said on November 27, 2004 07:47:
radio one is indeed crap these days. Their is a musical snobbery when selecting their playlists, and most things that cant be labelled trendy wont be played. Radio 2 and local radio are much better
Vixzter said on November 27, 2004 08:12:
Comercial Radio is nearly as bad as Radio 1 as they only play whats in the charts (mainly crap)
Radio 2 atleast has a more diverse taste not to mention better DJ’s who when talking do actualy talking sense not just jabber on about what celebrity party they went to the night before.
coyboyusa said on November 27, 2004 18:17:
lol vix i was just pllaying along lol btw cuba is gonna be a new state heheh
MiracleMan said on November 27, 2004 20:38:
Damn that was funny. I do believe I peed a little. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off and change into fresh knickers. Tally ho & what-what.
LittleSpooky said on November 27, 2004 23:42:
When I was over there, they played what was current at the time, which was 80s. So it worked for me.
I dunno.. the jury’s still out. I didn’t have too much time to investigate.
ncurran said on November 28, 2004 10:27:
Well here are the radio 1 and 2 playlists to compare. You will see there is some crap music on both lists.....and some good music on both lists. The main difference is that radio 2 will play music that isnt deemed trendy anymore, whereas the vast majority of radio 1’s playlist is very biased towards certain types of artists, and noone else gets a look in. If Roxette released another record, there is a strong chance that it would be added to radio 2’s list....but it is very unlikely that radio 1 would ever play it, no matter how good it was

“Puerto Rico is the 51st State”
I did not know that.
You learn something new every day!
While we’re on the subject- Where is the district of Columbia? Is that classed as a state as well?

Puerto Rico is NOT officially a state. It’s kind of hard to explain, since I don’t really know all the details m’self. But for a while, there was talk about making Puerto Rico the 51st US state *shrugs*
Washington D.C. is not a state, only a city. The Nation’s capital is technically located in the state of Maryland.

Aaah! So that’s what D.C. means. I knew Washington D.C. wasn’t a state, but I was always under the impression that it was in New York state. I was close!
Just by strange coincidence, I saw on TV tonight that Australia is the 53rd state. Must be some honourary thing the pollies thought up to make themselves look good or something!
