Across
the United Kingdom on Friday, Britons mourned their long-cherished right to
claim that Americans were significantly dumber than they are.
Luxuriating in the superiority of
their intellect over Americans’ has long been a favorite pastime in Britain,
surpassing in popularity such games as cricket, darts, and snooker.
But, according to Alistair
Dorrinson, a pub owner in North London, British voters have done irreparable
damage to the “most enjoyable sport this nation has ever known: namely,
treating Americans like idiots.”
“When our countrymen cast their
votes yesterday, they didn’t realize they were destroying the most precious
leisure activity this nation has ever known,” he said. “Wankers.”
In the face of this startling
display of national idiocy, Dorrinson still mustered some of the resilience for
which the British people are known. “This is a dark day,” he said. “But I hold
out hope that, come November, Americans could become dumber than us once more.”
