The joke of this joke could be; which English are we speaking of, British Isles, Canadian, Australian, S. Africaans, Americanese ...
Ahh the clarity of the "English" language. Darryl P.S. Maybe the root of the matter is the fear of reprisal the average American may be living with. Fear = Stress = heart problems. Besides, if the heart is the centre of "compassion", we know where that has gone in the U.S. One could also say the heart as the seat of passion is the centre of aggression; Aggression = Fear = Stress = heart problems. Hmmm...?
