<td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>John
Cleese And The Terror Threat Level Of Nations</strong></font><br>
<br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>*The
British response to terrorist threats.</strong> Many thanks to my
favorite funny Englishman, John Cleese, for the following:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>The English are concerned about
the recent increase in terrorist activities, and have therefore raised
their security level from "miffed" to "peeved." If the threats continue
to grow, the security levels may be raised to "irritated" or even "a
bit cross." (The English have not seen "a bit cross" since the blitz in
1940, when tea supplies nearly ran out.)<br>
<br>
Terrorists have been recategorized from "tiresome" to "a bloody
nuisance." The last time Britain issued "a bloody nuisance" warning was
in 1588, when Spain launched the Spanish Armada.<br>
<br>
The Scots have raised their threat level from "pis*ed off" to "let's go
get the bas*ards." They don't have any other levels—which is why they
have been placed on the front lines of the British Army for the last
300 years.<br>
<br>
The French government announced that it has raised its terror alert
from "run" to "hide." The only two higher levels in France are
"collaborate" and "surrender."<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the Spanish are excited to see that their new submarines are
ready to deploy. These beautiful new vessels have glass bottoms, so the
Spanish sailors can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.<br>
<br>
Down under, Australia has raised its security level from "no worries,
mate" to "she'll be all right." The next escalation would be "we may
need to cancel the barbie this weekend." The final level is "Crikey!
The barbie is cancelled." Australia has never faced a crisis so severe
that it merited this highest level.<br>
<br>

Thank you to John Cleese, British writer, actor and very tall person
with a funny walk, for today's laugh.<br>
