You forgot empanage.

And you misspelled it.

This was taken from a much longer note that mentioned the Brit level
had gone from Annoyed to Peeved.


You laugh, bnut the French have one of the world's most sophisticated
military industrial complexes. The US is proude of their Stealth Bomber,
but the French have an entire Stealth Army!! No matter what is happening
on the world scene they are completely invisible!!

LOL! Reminds me of the infamous Modesto Ninja Parade:

"This is our forth straight year. We've never seen a ninja."
"A record crowd of 3,000 came out to not see the ninjas."

I lifted the quotation from this rant: may as well keep it in context.

EUROPEAN TERRORIST PREPARATIONS:



The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist
threats 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.



Also, 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

paralysing the country's military capability.



It's not only the English and French that 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 also

have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."



Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and 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.

The old sailors in my workgroup here are roaring. What I'd really like to
hear is, what do the other countries joke about Americans.

Anybody know any "How many Americans does it take to screw in a light bulb"
jokes? Let 'em fly.

Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Two, one to hold the giraffe, and the other to fill the bathtub with
brightly colored machine tools.

Same here.

My son has decided that he probably shouldn't tell that joke when he visits
Spain next month...

You be the judge.

OK, you're a raccist fjukkwit.

I just thought they deserved an equal opportunity.

of course you did. Fairplay is the hallmark of your trade.

Tina did that one already.

Tina's German?

I also like this onehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9NUKwHEWEg

But can't you come up with a different stereotype for a change?

I should be asking you that, shouldn't I?
