You know I like Americans! but there is one thing that really gets up my nose about them!!
the way they keep referring to the UK as England!! especially seeing as the Big Yin is Scottish ,now going on that way of thinking they must think Scotland is in England? ....Time to update your geogeaphy and history books guys!!!
Numenorean17, that is the most brilliantly obscure rationalization I have ever read!
It's a misdirect, an anti-joke. A "why did the chicken cross the road" type of thing. But once you have to explain a joke, it's never funny. The teddy roosevelt thing, however, is universally hilarious :)
@ScottishNonBeliever Thank you! it is quite sad that most americans don't understand that. except for those of us that watch UK television such as me, and are huge fans of Frankie Boyle and Kevin Bridges. anyway I hope to visit Scotland soon. cheers!
