Given the recent barrage of terrorism and homeland security concern reports... ... below is synopsis of the security threat level adjustments made by some other nations of note.
- The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats, and have therefore raised their security level from 'miffed' to 'peeved'. Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to 'irritated' or even 'a bit cross'. The English have
not been 'a bit cross" since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from 'tiresome' to 'a bloody nuisance'. The last time the British issued a 'bloody nuisance' warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish armada.
- The Scots have raised their threat level from 'pissed off' to 'let's get the bastards'. They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
- 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'.
- The Germans have increased their alert state from 'disdainful arrogance' to 'dress in uniform and sing marching songs'. They also have two higher levels: 'invade a neighbor' and 'lose'.
- Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual. The only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out 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.
- Americans meanwhile, and as usual, are carrying out pre-emptive strikes on all of their allies 'just in case'.
- New Zealand has raised its security levels - from 'baaa' to 'baaaa'. Due to continuing defense cutbacks, New Zealand has only one more level of escalation, which is 'I hope Australia will come and rescue us'.
- Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from 'no worries' to 'she'll be alright, mate'. Three more escalation levels remain 'crikey!', 'I think we'll need to cancel the Barbie this weekend' and 'the Barbie is canceled'. So far no situation has
ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

Years ago, the chaplain of the football team at Notre Dame was a beloved old Irish priest.
At confession one day, a football player told the priest that he had acted in an unsportsmanlike manner at a recent football game. "I lost my temper and said some bad words to one of my opponents." "Ahhh, that's a terrible thing for a Notre Dame lad to be doin'," the priest
said. He took a piece of chalk and drew a mark across the sleeve of his coat.
"That's not all, Father. I got mad and punched one of my opponents."
"Saints preserve us!" the priest said, making another chalk mark.
"There's more. As I got out of a pileup, I kicked two of the other team's players in the . . . in a sensitive area."
"Oh, goodness me!" the priest wailed, making two more chalk marks on his sleeve. "Who in the world were we playin' when you did these awful things?"
"Southern Methodist."
"Ah, well," said the priest, wiping his sleeve, "boys will be boys."

Look at the camels first and then read the message below... This is a picture taken from
directly above these camels in the desert at sunset. It is considered to be one of the best pictures of the year. When you look closely, you can see that the camels are the little white lines in the picture. The black images you see are just the shadows!
