    Their standard response to being offended is the classic "I know you are but what am I?" rebuttal.

    You're one to talk.

    :in-house twat:

    A.Besides that, we probably are less offended by shit than any other nationality.

    B.Our humor can be crass, racial, and disgusting...yet we laugh.
    A. Now, you are taking the piss aren't you?

    B. That is definatly not specific to Americans.


    Americans don't understand irony or sarcasm or silliness.

    We understand them all..especially the silly.

    We don't, however, usually think sarcasm and irony brings bust your gut laughter.....maybe I should take that back.......all of our million clone sitcoms are full of irony and sarcasm...and it's that they are still on TV.

    Americans don't know the meaning of the word 'subtle'. (Or, as they spell it, 'sbtle'.)
