Happy Independence Day America!!!

This is a day we Americans celebrate. A day we formally separated from Great Britain (legal divorce occurred on July 2, 1776) :-D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_(United_States)[^] Since I was not there when this day occurred, I have no emotional ties to this date other than being proud of my country and countrymen. With that said, my family, friends, and I celebrate with fun, good food, and some fireworks. I wish the best to all Americans and our foreign Allies, whom without them, we would not exist really.

From the wiki article: "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America" Prescient.

It must be time to re-post this old chestnut, then! :-D
NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE
To all the citizens of the United States of America, In the light of your failure to elect a President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today. Her Britannic Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume sovereign duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new Prime Minister (The Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed". 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. 3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. 4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. 5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through. 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 s

This one too! An American was visiting his friend in London. The American was always talking about how great things are in the US. This being late November, the American realised that it was time to educate his English friend about the tradition of Thanksgiving. The American said, "Americans celebrate Thanksgiving in order to thank The Lord for providing them with a bountiful harvest. Thanksgiving dinner consists of a huge 24-pound turkey roasted to perfection, giblet gravy, candied yams, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and a whole lot of other goodies. After we have our dinner, we settle down on the sofa and watch a football game on TV." It suddenly occurred to him that ths may not be a worldwide tradition and so he asked his English host if they have Thanksgiving in England. The Englishman replied, "Yes, we do, old chap. We celebrate it on July 4."

Think about it. George Washington did, in fact, have English Royatly blood in him. He was a 3rd Cousin to King George III. Ergo, it was a FAMILY FEUD! :cool:
