Chronus Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Got this via email, hopefully someone will find it funny, and yeah there are some stereotypes: Aussie eye-view of the War on Terrorism - Threat levels: The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats in Afghanistan and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Brits have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but 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 during the great fire of 1666. 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 paralysing the country's military capability. It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. 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 also 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, and 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. New Zealand has also raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA!". Due to continuing defence cutbacks (the Air force being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath), New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is "Shut, I hope Austrulia will come end riscue us". In the event of invasion, New Zealanders will be asked to gather together in a strategic defensive position called "Bondi". Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, mate". Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey!", "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled". There has not been a situation yet that has warranted the use of the final escalation level. Edited July 1, 2009 by Chronus
KB Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 Actually I thought this was the best line.... These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Ken

Chronus Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Posted July 2, 2009 Clever... stereotypes are fun when enjoy with ppl with a sense of humour... Agreed, especially when taken as a joke and not seriously
Demsey Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 Good stuff. "Invade a neighbor" and "Lose". Just brilliant. I almost missed this. Luckily I was running down a few of 'JKaz' 's last posts. You really can't beat a Yorkshireman for succinct comment. You really can't. No.
Irontomkidd Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 America felt left out, and this was the best I could find.
