Thats OK Col ol' chap. Here are 10 ways we in the USA make up for it.
10) FREEEEEEE tartar sauce with every fish and chips we order at a fast food
restaraunt.
9) Free nude photographs on the internet of our CNN TV newscasters.
8) Cars in the US sometimes go for hundreds and hundreds of miles without any oil
whatsoever which saves lots of money.
7) We actually get to root for people we work with on Survivor.
6) We get to have "world championships" in several sports without actually inviting
the rest of the world to play.
5) We have the distinct privilege of personally knowing the participants on the Jerry
Springer Show from our own neighborhood and thus avoid having to invent or import
them.
4) We have assistants to our major political leaders who get to do one heck of a lot
more than kiss some stupid ring when they get on their knees in the oval office.
3) During the riots we have in our country we dont have to listen to the rioters
singing any dumb songs WHILE they riot like they do in your country.
2) Bet you dont have Champaigne scented tampons in your country now do you.
1) One word.... Chyna. Got anything like her. Didnt think so.
