The sorry state of England
At last scientisits have proved what I've know for a long time:
Poms laugh less, say scientists
"BRITAIN is suffering a sense of humour failure, with laughter levels three times lower now than 50 years ago and nearly half of all adults unable to enjoy at least one big guffaw a day, research has revealed."

Celebrities, reality TV, politicians, they're just spoiled for things to make them laugh in the UK.

I'm laughing at the "Britain" became "England" and when "say' became "proved"
