for the car geeks :P

last time i was in the uk i got pulled over the cop asked me why was i driving on worng side of road i said i was born in the US and i live in the US i drive on what ever side of the road i want to. he said well this is not the US i told him we saved your @$$ 2 times so leave me alone about how i drive and he did not say anything eles he just got in his car and drove off what do you think that meens? lol

 

I guess he felt sorry for you, coming from the US and all.

Oh, and by the way, we saved your ass, not the other way around.

 

What do you mean wrong? My British friends say:

 

I know when a friend moved over here from Illinois his concern wasn't whether we drove on the left or the right side, but the fact that we drove down the white line in the middle!!

 

LMAO. Problem here is now the cop thinks all Americans are like that. Someone in the States was selling a "Canadian kit" for Americans travelling abroad. The thought of guys like this pretending to be Canadian.

 

Kinda stereotypical lumping of Americans together, don't you think?

I know what you meant, but I kind of felt the sting from that comment, too

 

How about this: The Russians saved both our asses in WWII. It was the Russian front that did the most to grind the German army into hamburger.

Not a popular viewpoint, I know, but keeps us from useless nitpicking at each other.

 

I think it means he was in a good mood that day.

 

yeah an extremely good mood

 

especially since "he fell down some stairs" is still a viable excuse in some police stations in the country
