> > NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE
> >
> > To the citizens of the United States of America. In the light of your
> > failure to elect a 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 monarchial duties
> > over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah,
> > which she does not fancy.
> >
> > Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. 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. 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".
> > 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know
> > on your behalf.
> > 3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents.
> > It really isn't that hard.
> > 4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as
> > the good guys.
> > 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.
> > 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 ourselves lucky. The
> > Russians have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "sh*t".
> > 8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th 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.
> > 10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.
> >
> > Thank you for your co-operation; and hoping, everyone enjoyed their
>Thanksgivings Day Feast. Next year, this will take place on the Queen's
>Birthday and you shall be advised accordingly.
