Re: Bananaman is only 10 years old...and...
BanannaMan - you do realise that as the token colonial at this event you will be held accountable for & be expected to be able to answer for EVERY SINGLE 'misdemeanor' that the US has committed since 1776, don't you ?
There are however a couple of very simple phrases that may help you through this upcoming difficult time :- 1) "Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa" - when said in a truly contrite manner this is a pretty good start which, if accepted by your interrega.. oops sorry, person asking the question/making the statement can then be followed by - 2) "yeah look I'm sorry we <insert 'misdemeanor> how about I buy you a beer (or other alcoholic beverage) to make up for it ?" Looking forward to meeting you !!

a. Define "token colonial" b. Even though my family was still very much in England in 1776 (Wiltshire and London btw) if we're only counting 'misdomeanors' since then, could be no more than a few. The US likes to screw up on a much larger scale.
