Latest Alert Levels...

The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings 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.

It's not only the British who 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 have two higher levels:
"invade a neighbor" and "lose".

Be aware that 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.

. Damn! The Rebs are at it again! (They are getting to say things that I can't say in my "politically correct" state of NY) ( Please, Hillary, don't punish me. I'm sorry. I promise not to laugh again!)
