One-Upmanship

The Brits invented that proud tradition of bathing once a week, whether they need it or not.

They did not, however, invent underarm deodorant.

We do use lots of it however, even though we do not need it.

It is well known that the British do not sweat or perspire. We merely 'glow' now and again.
 
Didn't you guys invent crack ?

I think you did. Would you be kind enough to hold on to more of it please. We would rather do without it over here, if it's all the same. I thank you.

Perky you are fucking hysterical. I SO needed that laugh. It was worth the vanilla shake all over my sweater.

Hey p p man, we created modern democracy, capitalism, economics and industry. You?

Actually, old cock, NONE of the above.

If you like, you can get the credit for AIDS, law-courts where the guy with the biggest stash always wins.

You can get the credit for Jazz (oh, but that was the slaves, wasn't it?)

Most economic thought doesn't seem to come from America. We didn't invent democracy, we reinstated it. We were one of the last countries to keep slaves. We still haven't had a female president. England has several. The factory plans we used in our Industry were originally stolen from England. They have three political parties, we have two that are practically identical in their pursuit of screwing us. The Hubble Telescope is continually not working coreectly for some goddamn reason. London has multiple newspapers, and most American cities only have one, if any. Americans also invented feminine hygeine spray. English cooking is revolting, American cooking is a heart attack on a plate half the time.

Why the hell I'm I even talking?

americans arent so much inventors as we are innovators...them we sell the ideas to asia where they are mass produced

Necessity=the mother of invention. We had to do it in order to compete with your heroin market. We're nasty buggers that way.

Re: Fierce Dravidian

Am I right in thinking that the Dravidians were responsible for all those beautiful, erotic carvings which decorate those temples? My recollection is that the women are outrageously lovely with biggish, hemispherical breasts without any of those unsightly sub-mammary folds.

Dravidians: The female of the species is more distinguished than the male. (with apology to Rudyard Kipling)
 
Being a history teacher, I have a love of antiques. Being a history teacher I certainly don't buy them, I just look. And I can imagine the age or period from whence they come.

I lived in Europe for a long time. I saw quite a few antiques that could boast ages of hundreds upon hundreds of years. I found things in Scotland that actually belonged to my ancestors hundreds of years ago.

Go to an estate sale here in the USA and the 1930s items are considered antiques. Two, three hundred years is about all we can lay claim to.

When are we going to Mars? Or someplace else?

We already have...

The Americans weren't around in the middle ages.

Well not out middle ages anyway...

Hollywoods, perhaps.

THE BRITISH are commonly acknowledged to be among the best in the world when it comes to inventions. Over the past 50 years, according to Japanese research, more than 40 per cent of discoveries taken up on a worldwide basis originated in the United Kingdom. And at an important exposition of inventions in the United States recently, the UK won four of the top prizes.

That's because the Americans have always bought their stuff in, whereas we poor Brits have to rely on our natural genius to stay ahead of the game...

We Brits invented natural genius :p
