As a Brit I’ll take my 13/15 and remind everyone that it’s 4/7 and it’s called ‘Treason Day’. 😜
Yes, why do I know about Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest? 😅
Load More Replies...I wonder how many 'true blood, dïe hard, Trump is god' Americans would be able to answer these? Especially with the state of the US education system now. Don't get me wrong, I know there's a lot of very intelligent people in the US, but the ones who scream and shout "Trump, God, Guns, Freedom" loudest are usually the ones with no clue about their history.
John Hancock did not become synonyms with signatures because John Hancock's John Hancock was especially large but because John Hancock's John Hancock was the first John Hancock on the Declaration.
12/15 I didn’t know how many hot dogs are eaten on the 4th of July. I don’t like hot dogs, I also got the question about Australia right and I think “American the Beautiful” would be a better national anthem. Uh oh… I think I hear them at my door, coming to revoke my citizenship 🙁
In the late 50s or early 60s we were returning home aboard a crowded city bus on a hot and humid north New Jersey July 4th evening after watching a fireworks show somewhere. The bus had no AC and the traffic was horrible, the bus scarcely moving at all. Looking out the window and wishing I were anywhere else I said aloud "And for this, we fought a revolution!" I remember it getting a big laugh.
13/15. Not bad for one of The Bad Guys in this story. I'll help you guys celebrate with a Wisconsin Mac&Cheese pack, imported before your Commander In Chief screwed up international trade...
That was terribly written. We don't write 7/4 for the holiday, we write 'The Fourth of July". How many hot dogs are eaten is a guess. Nobody knows that off the top of our heads. And "Which of these countries does not also celebrate its national/independence day within a few days of July 4th?" could not be written any more clumsily.
