Experience pride in your testicles, learn the joys of good dental hygiene, be able to make statements of opinion without feeling the need to pimp for affirmation of your own opinion at the end of the statement (ie in the US we say "it's a beautiful day today." among Brits it seems y'all have an undying need for confirmation because you'd ad "isn't it?" to the end of that statement.) not only will you now drive on the correct side of the road, but you can enjoy roads with generous lane widths and things called "shoulders," learn to embrace foods designed to be eaten with the hands directly, become educated on how to properly complain about standing in line,

In my part of the country we let our testicles hang out proud on formal occasions.

If we question the statement 'its a beautiful day' its just because it's so statistically unlikely.

We already drive in the correct side of the road, driving mainly manual cars because we learn how to drive properly.

We don't need large roads as our cars aren't the size of aircraft carriers and we recognise that there can actually be such a thing as too many cup holders.

We also have this thing called cutlery.

We happily queue because we don't all think we are so important as to be served first.

You may have us on the dental thing...

Some of the people inside of those American cars ARE the size of aircraft carriers. Hence the requirement.

That was a good one!

Some of us live in parts of the country where earthquakes leave roads looking like they were hit by aircraft carriers and animals the size of aircraft carriers roam the roadside. I don't relish the idea of hitting an 800 lb moose doing 55 MPH while driving a Subaru... so I drive a large SUV.

Alright, the Scots have always been proud to let their nuts hang, I'll give you that. Of course they're not true Englishmen now, are they? More along the line of domesticated Vikings.

Except when it came time to separate from the UK...they shriveled up a bit then.

Which probably explains why Scotland has the highest drug related deaths per capita in the world.

Cuz nobody up there can afford an automatic equipped car.

We don't need large roads as our cars aren't the size of aircraft carriers and we recognise that there can actually be such a thing as too many cup holders.

Scottish cars come equipped with bongs and IV drips instead.

We also have this thing called cutlery.

Mainly used to off oneself.

We happily queue because we don't all think we are so important as to be served first.

Or more likely, don't have a job to go to.

we definitely have you on that.

It's highest drug related deaths in EU. A terrible figured that actually meant we caught upwith the US....

The only thing the drug death stats demonstrate is that hard drug addiction is a self correcting problem. Personally, I think the number should be a lot higher, a lot closer to the overall number of non-clinical overdoses in whatever country you happen to be looking at stats for.

Could Boris Johnson be UK PM and then US president

Only if Trump wasn't running. Nobody can beat that guy.

So true.

And so triggering.

But so true.

I am not educated in the procedures of trigger counseling.
Why is it triggering?

You mean we would have to learn to speak "American"?

Yep! That means there is no such thing as "al-oo-min'-e-yum." It's aluminum... "a-loo'-min-um." Get it right; we have cruel and unusual punishments for such things over here. Like making you watch 30 hours continuously of the greatest rants by Nancy Pelosi. Or, if it's a really bad infraction, 10 continuous hours of listening to "Gangham Style."

Drive on the wrong side of the road?

Y'all do that now.

Become morbidly obese?

That one is optional.

Get shot by our Police if we are black?

Oh, no! Your police don't get to play with guns. You can get shot by our police if you want.

Play rugby with crash helmets and full body armour? Sorry - "armor"? Etc.

Security! We have a troublemaker here abusing his 'u's!

Like the last guy?

If you look at the last REPUBLICAN pres, then yes.

Old + white + rich + man= optimum prime for repub candidate for presidency.

Because somehow conservatives equate inherited money with success, being old with being wise and being white with being white.

I am looking at the democrats, too. They tried to supplement man with woman, but that is just not the same for US-americans, I guess.

Hey, I got an idea, maybe we can find some old-rooted us-american ancestry with Zensursula Von der Leyen and ship her over? You can have her, and Annegret Kampf-Knarrenbauer, too!
Merkel is legacy now, no more critical updates and she is falling apart, I would not recommend.

GWB was old? 54 isnt old.

I'd wager that most Brits neither know nor care who Nancy Pelosi is.

American spelling due to Noah Webster and his dictionary, apparently. You learn something new every day:

*warning* - the article contains an image of Mr Obama, for those likely to be offended/triggered by such.

Who is Nancy Pelosi? Nah, it's OK, I don't give a toss who she is.

While there are many differences between the US and the UK we do share common values and history. When all's boiled down, I share more in common with my American sister in law than someone from Germany, or France. I work with a Frenchie and have lived in Germany. I like French wine and German beer, but Americans did not try to kill my grandparents, nor do they treat Brits with disdain.
