And they call the winners "The world champions"!

After the Monica lewnsky incident:

Attributed to John Cleese -
 The three differences between American and British people:

    * "We speak English and you don't."
    * "When we hold a World Championship for a particular sport, we 
invite teams from other countries to play, as well."
    * "When you meet the head of state in Great Britain, you only have 
to go down on one knee."
