World Terror Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats, and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved”. Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross”.<\/p>\n The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies nearly 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 in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.<\/p>\n The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards”. They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.<\/p>\n 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 “Collaborate” and “Surrender”. The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France ‘s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.<\/p>\n Italy\u00a0 has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing”. Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides”.<\/p>\n Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Americans meanwhile, and as usual, are carrying out pre-emptive strikes on all of their allies “just in case”.<\/p>\n Canada\u00a0doesn’t have any alert levels.<\/p>\n New Zealand has raised its security levels – from “baaa” to “BAAAA”. Due to continuing defence cutbacks, New Zealand has only one more level of escalation, which is “I hope Australia will come and rescue us”.<\/p>\n Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, mate”. Three more escalation levels remain: “Crikey!”, “I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend” and “The barbie is cancelled”. So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Once in while, a little levity helps.\u00a0 I got this in an e-mail and just couldn’t pass it up … it about sums up the world situation …\u00a0 Enjoy!!
