European Heighten Threat Levels:

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist

threats 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". Londoners have not been "A Bit

Cross" since the blitz began in 1940 and 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.

Also, 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.

It's not only the English and 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 Neighbor" 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.

No offense intended to any nationality(I'm in there myself!)

Happy Christmas all
