Title: Euro Threat Levels
Post by: Hap on May 19, 2011, 10:14:05 AM
ALERTS TO THREATS, IN 2011 EUROPE....... BY JOHN CLEESE

 

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and

have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon,

though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit

Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when

tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from

"Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody

Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

 
The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the

Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been

used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

 
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert

level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are

"Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that

destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's

military capability.

 Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to

"Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat

Operations" and "Change Sides."

 
The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to

"Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels:

"Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."

 Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they

are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

 
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These

beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a

really good look at the old Spanish navy.

 
Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to

"She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think

we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is canceled." So

far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

Yet another story not actually written by John Cleese?
What is the fascination with attributing these things to him?
