I got this in an email - thought I'd pass it on..

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 Neighbour" 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.

Americans meanwhile, and as usual, are carrying out pre-emptive strikes on all of their allies "just in case".
Canada doesn't have any alert levels.

New Zealand has raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA". Due to continuing defence cutbacks, New Zealand has only one more level of escalation, which is "I hope Australia will come and rescue us".
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, mate". Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey!", "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled". So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

Jacques Chirac,  President of  France

------------------------------

'The only  time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting  in Paris sipping coffee.'

Regis  Philbin

------------------------------

'You know,  the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was  still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for  it.'

John McCain , U.S. Senator  from Arizona

------------------------------

'The  last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching  into Paris under a German flag.'

David  Letterman

French Ban  Fireworks at Euro Disney

(AP), Paris , March 5,  2003

The French Government announced today that it is imposing a  ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a  nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside  of Paris , caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to  surrender to a group of Czech tourists.

Didn't France, like get defeated because its best forces charged into Belgium to save their allies asses and then got cut off when Germans attacked through the Ardennes forest?
Also, why aren't there any jokes about Brits running away from Dunquerke?

Because, apparently in English versions of History, getting kicked off a continent, withour your equipment and vehcles, is considered a GREAT VICTORY!.

Dunkirk can be considered a success because several hundred thousand troops were pulled out from a hopeless situation when they would have been totally destroyed and\or captured otherwise. Considering neither US nor russia was in the war at that time, UK couldnt afford to go down further in manpower than they already were.

Success isn't the same as victory.

Anyway, the French jokes piss me off because they promote ignorance of history.
I just love how people ignore that French actually moved most of their best forces to Allied countries to defend them from German invasion and assume that since soldiers from reserve divisions panicked and ran away, then all French soldiers were cowards.
