Re: Does England Really Suck more than America? said by wonko3fc:I wasn't aware that there was any evidence of original humor originating from the USA given the tightly constrained confines within what passes for 'satire' and the comprehensive absence of Irony. I believe there are federal laws about that. As soon as an American utters something which might be construed as witty, he is required to follow it up with "ha, ha, only kidding", thus rendering the joke inert and harmless. |

If I may correct you, dave, it's actually an executive order signed by the current President after talking to God one night. The order was written by Alberto Gonzales and incorporated several refinements suggested by Vice-President Cheney.
Yes, it's true that there is an amazing similarity in God's voice and that of the Vice President but that simply explains why the President values everything said by the V. P.
Ha, ha . . . only kidding.

England | Laura Bush: "We have the weekend free darling, what would you like to do?"
George Bush: "I'm not sure. Let's think..."
Laura Bush: "No, let's do something that you can do too."

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. |

1 edit | Or, as my older brother was fond of saying, "It's all in the wrist!" Not being particularly fond of tennis in the first place, I never did grasp his point. (As it were and so to speak.)

That must have been to much relief all round then? |

Reston, VA | Well, to be perfectly frank, . . .
(Don't you hate that phrase? And just who is Perfectly Frank anyway? I mean, really . . . Okay, I've got Freeborn John down now, but Perfectly Frank, I dunno.)
At any rate, I only feel able to comment on your query for myself.
Yes.
