Humour: Alert to Threats in 2015 Europe from John Cleese
"... And as a final thought – Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are
getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC..."
OMG,
this piece was too funny not to share. I just love John Cleese and I
enjoyed that humour from James Corbett so much I thought I’d bring some
levity to our day. Thank you Facebook! You’re alright. Like a fine wine, John just gets better with age, and yes, life is too short, and that’s why we short folk need extraordinarily tall people, like John and my hubby. They’re good at reaching. Don’t ever stop, John.
Disclaimer: This is all in good fun, and no disrespect intended to our brethren abroad.
If you’re not familiar with John Cleese and would like a taste of his earlier work in Monty Python days, or to see how tall people walk, see the video below. If you don’t care for idiotic humour—don’t watch. Personally, I think it’s hysterical. Laugh track included.

ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2015 EUROPE
From JOHN CLEESEThe English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria 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.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorised 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.
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.
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 paralysing the country’s military capability.
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 have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; 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.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be right, Mate.” Two 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 last final escalation level.

And as a final thought – Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.
Life is too short…
