ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2012 EUROPE : BY JOHN CLEESE

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Libya and Iran

therefore they 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. 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.

The Scots have raised their threat level from Pissed Off to Let's get the b*stards!

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 paralyzing 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 Neighbor 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 alright, 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 final escalation level.

--A final thought. Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive,

and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.

Not too many people funnier than John Cleese in my opinion.

Fawlty Towers was one of my favorites.
