From a mere brit may I wish all in the USA a happy birthday. My memories are:
You lost at the Alamo! How did you manage that with John Wayne on your side?
You assasinate your Presidents. We normally vote our PM out
Your president tell lies. OK but he gets caught doing it! (There will be no whitewash in the White House)
Your president gets caught with his pants down (you are ahead of me)
Your president gets in cos his brother voted for him (ditto)
Some of your states still have the death penalty (fair enough I go there)
You say 'have a nice day'. This is not a myth
You can turn right on a red light (but make sure you are in the right State)
You talk loudly and wear stetsons and check shirts on holiday
You shoot each other a lot
How did you get to be a superpower?
Who cares? Happy Birthday! Dont eat all the cake
