A MESSAGE FROM ENGLAND!!

Subject: Revocation of U.S. Independence

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE

To the citizens of the United States of America,
In the light of your failure to elect anyone as President of the USA
and thus to govern yourselves and, by extension, the free world, we hereby
give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchial duties
over all states, commonwealths and other territories including New
Jersey.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, please comply
with the following acts:

1.   Look up "revocation" in the now official Oxford Dictionary
     ($75). Start spelling English words correctly.
2.   Learn at least the first 4 lines of "God Save The Queen"
3.   Start referring to "soccer" as football
4.   Declare war on Quebec and France.
5.   Arrest Mel Gibson for treason.
6.   Close down the NFL. Learn to play rugby.
7.   Enjoy warm flat beer and steak and kidney pudding. Train
     waitresses to be more aggressive with customers and not to tell you
     their names before you eat.
8.   July 4th is no longer a public holiday, this has been replaced
     with November 5th.
9.   All members of this British Crown Dependency will be required to
     take 6 weeks annual vacation and observe statutory tea breaks.
10.  Driving on the left is now compulsory - recall all cars to effect
     the change immediately.
11.  Report to our Consulate General in NY for your new
     passport and job allocation.
12.  Have Meg Ryan report to Prince Andrew's Bedchamber.
13.  Add the Royal insignia to the top of the Washington Monument - and
     the Queen's Christmas speeches to the Lincoln Memorial.
14.  Stop referring to the World Series of Baseball and instead call it
     the National Series of USA, Cuba and Japan.

Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you
shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to
1776).

Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day!
