A Bit Old ..... But Still Funny (American, French, track, quote)

This was dry as hell, even if it was true it wasn't that funny. Some of it was straight up stupid, poking fun at americans for spelling 'colour' color? We were taught to spell that way, so trying to play it off like its lazy and moronic of us is pretty dumb.

What? Each SAT catagory is out of 800...

and this thing is damn funny.

The old test was out of 1600 total. Math = 800 max, Reading = 800 max

New one is out of 2400. Math = 800 max, Reading = 800 max, Writing = 800 max

So I have no idea what you're talking about and I don't think you do either.

Actually all the words we have spelled diffrently in the states are because we hate the brittish. We just took letters out to be diffrent. This need to be better than them because of hatred is also why "ain't" isn't a word.

I'm a word nerd like that, I study this **** all day long. it gets me off academiclly.

2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on
your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of
the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize".

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. You should 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 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your
borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be
allowed to play a girls' game called "rounders" which is baseball without
fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs..

7. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be
allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable
peeler. Because we don't believe you are sensible enough to handle
potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wishto carry a
vegetable peeler in public.

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

14. 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 adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by
adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone
or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.

15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy. Tax
collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure
the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).

Bill Gates will find some way to combat the changing of his spellcheck

American "football" should be banned. Any sport baring any simularities to it should also be outlawed.

Second Amendment right to the US Constitution allows us to bare arms. I interpret this amendment the Conservative way. The only thing I ask is that anyone with a gun or any other weapon be certified to use it. They should pass a test proving they know how to use it and that they are accurate.

German or Italian cars.

Sometimes violence is the answer. We need lawyers to mediate these sorts of situations and therapists to help us decide on which course of action is best. if not the homicide rate would sky rocket.
And Brits are one to talk anyway.
I think their homicide rate rivals America's.

JFK's brother setup his assissination. Case solved.
