    Going to enjoy repeating this at all my US friends all night and pretending I came up with it, cheers.

      This is the true internet way. (I stole it from someone else too and am cheerfully passing it off as mine)

    They keep thinking that they pulled a fast one on us by dumping all that tea in the river, but it was our plan to get the world’s largest brew going.

    Joke’s on them. We have plenty more.

      -Sir, sir, the Yankees are refusing to pay taxes!

      -Really? Bit annoying.

      -They’re marching on Boston!

      -Are they? Well, I’m sure it’ll blow over.

      -And they’re dumping crates of tea into the harbour!

      -WHAT??? TOTAL WAR!!!

    Please take me back. I promise to be good this time.

    Have mercy!

    I’ll eat my meat, so I can have my pudding.

    Today we celebrate being the first to Brexit, and actually being successful at it.

      The first real nation anyway. Not any of those lame nations and countries that aren’t America as if they matter. Psssssh.

    Because what has the U.S. ever done since declaring independence? Truly nothing but a downward slope since the heady colonial days.

    This is like Hugh Grant, when the anniversary of the Elizabeth Hurley divorce rolls around, trying to pretend he’s drinking cabinets of scotch because he’s “celebrating no longer being responsible for that bitch, Liz” and totally not because he’s a broken, barely-recognizable husk of his former glorious self. And we should know.

    But Florida sided with the Crown and remained a colony.

    @digdilem We took Florida and Texas from the Spanish fair and square and bought Louisiana from the French. You guys kept Canada but had to split it with the French. You can have Florida and Texas so we’ll trade you for Canada. They seem very nice.

      Canada has decent healthcare, and I’d be worried that if we let you have Canada - you’d degrade that. America is basically a floating shopping mall. Everything is for sale. Even things that really shouldn’t be.

    You can never totally divest from the fire you started friends. Even if it burns beyond your control.

      You should be telling that to the Dutch, French and Spanish. All forgotten when it comes to the origins of the USA.
