          So - as best as I can discern (and that's impeccably accurate at all times), you guys haven't even started leaving the EU and already are try to create a new version. I'll tell ya' whut: You can rent Mississippi for a while - test drive it for a while - and then decide how wise you commentator realize is. And we'll keep our 'merican spelling of words, which favor logic and common sense, and you can continue with your adoptions of French spellings and pronunciations. Note to self: suggest that before they 'build a wall' they should widen the Atlantic.

                I read that yesterday, and although I'm a longtime fan of Cleese and Python, I thought it was unfunny, childish, off point and certainly not helpful to the discussion. Just a series of old Yank jokes rehashed in the context of a serious international event. Not impressed.
