Increased Terrorist Threat: European Reactions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent
terrorist threats and have raised their security level
from "Miffed" to "Peeved."Soon, though, security
levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even
"A Bit Cross." Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross"
since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran
out.

Terrorists themselves have been re-categorized from
"Tiresome" to" A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the
British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was
during the great fire of 1666.

Also, the French government announced yesterday that it
has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The
only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and
"Collaborate." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire
that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively
paralyzing the country's military capability.

It's not only the English and French that are on a
heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert
level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate
Military Posturing." Two more levels remain:
"Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change
Sides."

The Germans also increased their alert state from
"Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and
Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher
levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as
usual, and the only threat they are worried about
is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new
submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully
designed subs have glass bottoms so the new
Spanish navy can get a really good look at the
old Spanish navy.
