>It really isn't that difficult.
Um, you know, like, sometimes I wish Ya'll French and English just spoke
German. Then we'd only have to take crap from the Kiwis and the Aussies for
not being able to tell who's who down under. As an added plus they don't
care how badly we mangle the "Queen's English".
>4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast British actors as the
>good guys.
Geez, we did let a Brit play a "good guy" gay robot in
Star Wars. What do you want? Do they make movies in England?
>10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.
That would be the Mob.
