Equal Opportunity Insults
Posted: Tue Aug 29, 2006 2:20 pm
Here's some insulting humor for everyone--I like to be fair.
Subject: Security Levels
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist bombing and, therefore, have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved. Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." Londoners have not been
"A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.
Terrorists have been officially re-categorised from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance". The last time the English issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the Great Fire of London in 1666.
Elsewhere..................
Also, the French government announced yesterday that it had raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate". The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.
It's not only the English and French that are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "shout loudly and excitedly" to "elaborate military posturing." Two more levels remain, "ineffective combat operations" and "change sides."
The Germans, wishing to stay in lock-step with their neighbours, have also increased their alert state from "disdainful arrogance" to "dress in uniform and sing marching songs." They have two higher alert levels: "invade a neighbour" and "lose."
The world should now feel a safer place.
+++++++
Now, to be truly equal opportunity, someone here needs to create U.S. (strange RAINBOW), Canadian, Polish, etc. versions.
Any takers?
