Re: Re: [OT] Completely off-topic and useless celebrating re: World Cup

Many a true word spoken in jest! I know a lady from the States who is
over
here on a teaching exchange and she told us that the majority of our US
cousins don't have a passport - they've never been outside their
country!
Of course there are several thousand US citizens who have been all over
the
world, but then they don't need passports - they're in the armed forces!
Have gun will travel?

That's tennis. We were talking football. Tennis starts NEXT week.....

A little side anecdote......

At one of the Anime conventions over here a couple of years ago, there
was
supposed to be a US special guest coming over - a few days before he was
due, the organisers double checked with him that everything was OK -
including, of course, his passport. His reply was something like:  "Huh?
Passport? Why do I need a passport, I thought you spoke English over
there.....?"

To quote possibly the best known American of all, "D'oh!!!"
