ALERTS TO THREATS - EUROPE 2013: BY JOHN CLEESE

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Libya , Egypt and Syria 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 "Pi$$ed 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 Uniforms and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."

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.

A final thought -" Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC".

Jag känner igen detta från... eh... förr i tiden nån gång. Kanske bara en uppdatering, med tillägg av "Egypten" och "Syrien". (Eller också är "förr i tiden" för mig likställt med "för ett par månader sen", det kan bli så med långtidsminnet med tiden.)

Har cirkulerat på internet ett par år minst. Inte Cleese, det är nåt nytt man lagt till rätt nyligen. Kul att se hur kedjebrev utvecklas

Roligt kanske det är (om man är lagd åt det hållet), men John Cleese har inget med det att göra: http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/t ... malert.asp

He he.

Rolig text hur som helst. Cleese kan känna sig hedrad. Även om det bara delvis är i hans stil.

No, John didn't write that. It was written by a Brit called John Humberstone, according to some unreliable sources I found online. But I know John's style; that's not it. Nine times out of ten, anything attributed to a celebrity wasn't actually written or said by that celebrity. George Carlin couldn't possibly have lived long enough to say everything attributed to him.
