That, folks, was a fine example of either that wonderfully droll, but usually 
bizarre English wit, or a pompous ass.

By the way, I remember seeing one of those wonderfull shows that are the 
product of England, and I was very amused to notice that it was a rather
laughable clone of "Three's Company".  I would say that's a fine indication
of what the English people look for in entertainment.

Oh, and if you remember, the United States also used to be part of your empire.
Isn't it nice that you are now part of ours?
