Default OT....NOTICE: America Taken Back By The British Crown After 230 Years of Failure.....

Whilst cooking the meal tonight, I saw the following, and remembered that
there are many 'Americans' on RFCSo thought I would let you know the 'New'
(or back to old) Ruler of the former Colonies!......



To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II.

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates
for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give
notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You
should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over
all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does
not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America
without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may 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 . The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,'favour,'
'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut'
withoutskipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by
the suffix '-'ise.'Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary
toacceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').

2 . Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such
as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of
communication. There is no such thing as U.S .English. We will let Microsoft
know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take
into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.'

3 . July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

4.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 quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for
shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or
speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

5 . Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more
dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you
wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

6 . All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start
driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will
go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion
tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the
British sense of humour.

7 . The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been
calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

8 . You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries
are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are
properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and
dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

9 . The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually
beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as
beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred
to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for
pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the
beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for
them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so
that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good
guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English
characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four
Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed
with a cheese grater.

11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of
proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in
time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American
football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or
wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

12. Further, you will 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 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your
borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will
let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their
deliveries.

13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's
Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies
due (backdated to 1776).

15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers,
and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus
strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God Save the Queen!

Barry, you're a brave man.

Look on the bright side, I didn't see any mention of lap dogs, trains,
WWII or French women in your post <g>.

I got a laugh out of it too... but posting jokes around here can be a
risky business; I don't think you were here for "The Marine and The
French Woman" joke I posted were you? I'll email it to you <grin>.
Anyway, I was just offering a fellow-RFC-er some protection. <veg>

FWIW, I've noticed jokes posted here usually get at least 3 reactions:

1. This is so old, I've seen it <xxx> times before - yawn - why are you
wasting my time and/or bandwidth?
2. Why are you posting this to a food group?[*]
3. This joke was not funny at all. How dare you make fun of <fill in the
blank>...
[*] Even though the post is clearly marked as Off-Topic.

Isn't this John Cleese's treatise from a few year back?

Oops, no! My mistake. It's commonly attributed to Cleese, but it isn't his.
