Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house faster than an
ambulance.
Only in Britain... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in Britain... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a DIET coke.
Only in Britain... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
Only in Britain... do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
Only in Britain... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.
NOT TO MENTION...
3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their
tongue.
142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of
screwdrivers.
31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas
decorations were chocolate.
British Hospitals reported:
4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents.
101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.
18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of control Scalextric cars.
And finally.........
In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the Toilet............................

BENTONVILLE, Arkansas (AP) - Cet Américain a dû faire face à un drôle de zèbre qui s'était introduit dans la maison de sa fille, ou plus précisément un cerf. Mal en a pris à ce dernier: après 40 minutes de corps à corps exténuant, Wayne Goldsberry a finalement brisé à mains nues le cou de l'animal.
Le cerf à queue blanche était entré vendredi par effraction dans cette maison familiale de Bentonville (Arkansas), en passant à travers la fenêtre d'une chambre.
Après avoir entendu un bris de verre, "j'étais en train de jeter un coup d'oeil quand le cerf est sorti de la chambre", explique Wayne Goldsberry. L'animal a alors couru dans le couloir avant d'entrer dans une autre chambre "sautant au-dessus du lit".
Un combat s'est alors engagé entre l'homme et l'animal. Après avoir saisi le cerf, Wayne Goldsberry a finalement pu lui briser le cou avant de sortir la dépouille à l'extérieur.
"Il a reçu plusieurs coups de pied. Il a boité pendant un moment", raconte l'officier de police Doug Gay.
A cette époque de l'année, les cerfs qui aperçoivent leur reflet dans une fenêtre n'hésitent pas à charger, croyant combattre un mâle rival, explique-t-il.
Loin de la chambre, le cerf mort a désormais trouvé une nouvelle place dans la maison: la cuisine ! "Il est dans le congélateur", se réjouit Wayne Goldsberry, avant de présenter son trophée, de la viande de gibier fraîchement découpée et emballée. AP
