The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist
threats and have raised their security level from “Miffed”
to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again
to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” Londoners have not been “A Bit
Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.
Terrorists themselves have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A
Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody
Nuisance” warning level was during the great fire of 1666.
Other European countries are as follows:
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its
terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels
in France are “Surrender” and “Collaborate.” The rise was
precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France ‘s white flag
factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly”
to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels
remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”
Germany raised their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance”
to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two
higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the
only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to
deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new
Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
