MESSAGE FROM, HRH THE QUEEN

God Bless Her!
 

 

 

MESSAGE FROM, HRH THE QUEEN








 



To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth  II

 

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to

govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

 

(You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and

territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.  A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of

you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

 
-----------------------

1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.'  Likewise, you

will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters,  and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the

suffix '-ise.'  Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels.  (Look up

'vocabulary').

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

2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an

unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft

know on your behalf.  The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'

and the elimination of  '-ize.'

       -------------------

3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

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

4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists.  The fact that you need so

many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent.  Guns should only be used for

shooting grouse.  If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not

ready to shoot grouse.

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

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. 

Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

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

6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate

effect.  At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables.   

Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

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

7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. 

Get used to it.

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

8. You will learn to make real chips.  Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you

insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps.  Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and

dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

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

9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all.  Henceforth, only proper

British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of  known and accepted provenance will be referred

to as Lager.  Canadian beer is also acceptable, as is Australian beer since they are pound for pound the greatest

sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer.  They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see

what it did for them.  American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold

without risk of further confusion.

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

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys.  Hollywood will also be required

to cast English actors to play English characters.  Watching Kevin Costner attempt English dialogue as Robin Hood

was an experience akin to having one's ears removed  with a cheese grater.

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

11. You will cease playing American football.  There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. 

Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American

football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a

bunch of nancies). 

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

12. Further, you will stop playing baseball.  It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a

game which is not played outside of America.  Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your

borders, your error is understandable.  You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the Australians first to

take the sting out of their deliveries.

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

13. You must tell us who killed JFK.  It's been driving us mad.

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

14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure

the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

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

15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups and saucers, never mugs, with high quality biscuits

(cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God Save the Queen!
