British Dental Health, and Overweight Americans.

I notice on quite a number of occasions that when the inhabitants of one country wish to mock those of another, they choose a theme which leads to everyone being tarred with the same brush.

This is the basis of 90% of humor.

Damn limeys, no sense of humor!

[Creamo]

Incredible, you typed all that and didn't fall asleep?

Put that on tape, it would put a crack addict in a coma.

Nice post Boretle, but get out of the house and talk to somebody. Just not when they are driving...

Yeah, Monty Python were a bunch of humourless dullards. Peter Cook? Pah! He might as well have been a politician. Spike Milligan? You what!? About as funny root canal surgery.

PS. It's spelt 'humour'. Try to remember that, I know it's hard.

Man....all that talk about food makes me want to go to Whataburger.  


So....the Brits have bad teeth because the Germans bombed all the toothpaste factories in WW2. I wonder what the French excuse for deodorant is?

Yanks are all lewd ignorant who never fail to make fools out of themselves.

Argentinians are arrogant turds who cant speak true spanish.

Puerto Ricans are all uneducated baseball players who go around shaking their bomboms and killing each other with knives.

Aussies are all happy tards who go around hunting crocks, drinking Fosters and eating at Outback Steakhouse.

Canadians...

... are just a bunch of c*$ts?

Hilarious!

Seriously, though, Beet1e brings up a couple of good points and leaves out a few:

(a) without fail, television commercials between 9 and 10pm will feature pizza, burgers, and tacos.  The reason?  The food industry knows that most people eat dinner around 7pm and will get hungry 2 to 3 hours later.  They _want_ viewers to make that late-night snack run through the drive-thru window.

(b) running, as a sport and hobby, is in the minority.  The premier professional sport in America is American football, which favors athletes carrying a lot of physical bulk and running short distances (very few runs are farther than 8 yards).

(c) the second-largest professional sport?  NASCAR racing and other forms of motorsport.  Big calorie burners there.  

(d) Americans only: Quick! Name a fast food that doesn't involve burgers, chicken, cheese, butter, or being prepared in a fryer.  Now, when was the last time you ate there?  How many times do you eat there in a given work week?

(e) American men see bulk as a sign of physical dominance - the bigger you are, the more manly you are.  Its a social thing.  Its no secret that American male business suit sizing is designed to allow for greater physical bulk than European cuts.

Those are just a few points to consider.  I'm sure I'll think of more.

Monty Python was so popular because they broke all the stereotypes...

They were Brits with good teeth and a sense of humor.

Michael Palin was an horrendous bore, with the teeth of a walrus until major dental surgery and a 3 week acid trip.

I was born in West Virginia...which if i remember correctly is one of the fattest states in the USA.  In the town i live, there are far more fat chics than there are lean ones. I used to be really thin, then Burger King with their 99cent menu, etc...took me over 200 lbs. I am not fat in my opinion, but damn i like my food.

I like to go to my favorite bar and they have 25 cent hotwings (big ones not those BW3 skrawny bellybutton lamer wings) and 1.50 beers (22oz bottles of Bud) on thursday nights.

I can eat 16 to 20 of those wings + beer. THAT IS EXCESSIVE.

but i dont care. i like my food, i like my beer, and i brush my teeth after every meal.

i just wish women were overwhelmingly attracted to beer bellys and guys who can eat alot of wings....well maybe the heffers are...thing is..i have vowed not to play around with anyone fatter than my ex wife...she would get too much satisfaction out of seeing me scrambling around with some postle gutted bar queen.

Maybe... but he had the sense to get them fixed so the Americans would like him.

Whilst Beetle seems to have a problem with someone's use of the word "pissant" and their jokes about dental hygene , he is spot on about daily exercise.

Growing up, I would eat 2 Quarter Pounders at McDonalds without blinking, and my Mom would still have to whip me up weight-gain shakes to keep my bones from sticking through my skin.  

Why?  Daily exercise.

Whether it was walking a quarter mile to school, walking my paper route, playing volleyball, etc., I always got lots of exercise.  Then when I found beer and computer programming, that all changed.  Now I have to watch what I eat and schedule time to exercise.  Not only that, but Americans drive EVERYWHERE.  When I go to the UK/Ireland it always seems odd to me to walk 10-15 minutes to the store/pub because I am so used to driving everywhere.  Unfortunately, the American way of life relies heavily on the automobile.

Whats interesting is how John Cleese claimed he moved to America because the English had lost their sense of humor (its not Humour either naaa)
