MURICA!

P.J. O’Rourke:

I was having dinner… in London… when eventually he got, as the Europeans always do, to the part about “Your country’s never been invaded.” And so I said, “Let me tell you who those bad guys are. They’re us. WE BE BAD. We’re the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We’re three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock market crash on our mother’s side. You take your Germany, France, and Spain, roll them all together and it wouldn’t give us room to park our cars. We’re the big boys, Jack, the original, giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in Cap d’Antibes. And we’ve got an American Express card credit limit higher than your piss-ant metric numbers go. You say our country’s never been invaded? You’re right, little buddy. Because I’d like to see the needle-dicked foreigners who’d have the guts to try. We drink napalm to get our hearts started in the morning. A rape and a mugging is our way of saying ‘Cheerio.’ Hell can’t hold our sock-hops.

We walk taller, talk louder, spit further, **** longer and buy more things than you know the names of. I’d rather be a junkie in a New York City jail than king, queen, and jack of all Europeans. We eat little countries like this for breakfast and shit them out before lunch.

"There are two kinds of countries in this world, those that use the metric system, and those that have been to the moon."

I think vmax said that. Lol

Actually three countries have landed men on the moon. Russia, China and the USA. Both Russia and China use the metric system and the US spacecraft was a mix of imperial and metric parts Much like a modern car. The apollo computers calculated in metric but displayed in English.

Unless you believe a horror movie that the Russians made it to the moon what you typed is what we call absolute utter bullshit. Only the US/NASA actually landed men on the moon.

Their are two types of countries: Those where their citizens own guns and those where their citizens get shot.

I think we were technically invaded by Canada in the late 1800s.

If memory serves they crossed where nobody was and left as soon as we found out.

Funny thing is while they use all metric sockets their ratchets are Standard sizes.

They convert them to metric thinking we won't know. Does a 12.7mm ratchet even sound like a thing?

Never thought about that.

Funny thing is England begging our citizens for firearms so their citizens can defend themselves during WWII.

You would think they would learn their lesson but have actually dug the hole deeper.

As I recall none of those firearms actually made it into civilian hands and most were scrapped or dumped in the ocean. All part of being a subject. Excuse me. "Royal Subject". Lol.

I read a story about one. It was a winning target rifle and the owner engraved his name and address on the stock before sending it off as he wanted it back.

It was actually returned with a letter from the "bloke" that used it.

I did read that very few made it home. What happened to them in between I really have no clue.
