Terrorist Alert News from Europe

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 in 1940 when 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 "Surrender" and "Collaborate." 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 that 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.

Those would be more fun if they were also self-deprecating.

Yes, it should have something comparable about the USA.

Re: Terrorist Alert News from Europe

How about;
The American Terrorist level has been raised from "Green" to "Seafoam"
President Bush asked congress today for $100 Billion US pocket money just in case..

The Canadian government issued a statement saying passport regulations had been immediately relaxed in order to facilitate an influx of middle east "tourists".

Steven Harper was quoted saying " We haven't seen tourist money like this since the meltown of the US housing market, and god knows we could use the cash since they won't buy stuff from us anymore"

Now that it's March I can start wearing my seafoam colored shirts and sand dollar (white) shoes again.
