English comedian John Cleese, of Monty Python fame, was asked to describe 
the difference between British and American people. In reply Cleese said 
that there were three basic differences from the British viewpoint: 

1. "We speak English and you don't."
2. "When we hold a World Championship for a particular sport, we invite 
teams from other countries to play, as well."
3. "When you meet the head of state in Great Britain, you only have to go 
down on one knee."

Give up? 

It's the 535 members of The United States Congress;
the same group that cranks the laws designed to
keep the rest of us in line.
