How can a national flag be offensive???<BR/><BR/>I'm English (I'm ok about being British too!) and in my opinion if someone comes to live in MY country then they can bloody well live the way we do and if they don't like it then they can bugger off!<BR/><BR/>See, see - what it does to me????<BR/><BR/>You'd never see an American take down their national flag because some foreigner said they were offended by it!<BR/><BR/>Now I'm in a bad mood!

Marjie's comment prompted me to find this gem of an extract from a conversation in a US court of law between a lawyer and a pathologist:<BR/><BR/>Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?<BR/>A: No.<BR/>Q: Did you check for blood pressure?<BR/>A: No.<BR/>Q: Did you check for breathing?!<BR/>A: No.<BR/>Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?<BR/>A: No.<BR/>Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?<BR/>A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.<BR/>Q: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?<BR/>A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practising law somewhere.Hogdayafternoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188146617570775741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529924257136754263.post-58025888433130455732009-01-24T09:09:00.000+00:002009-01-24T09:09:00.000+00:00Hadriana- I will March with you.
