It wasn’t originally constitutionally required, but presidents who served two terms have traditionally followed George Washington’s example and gotten false teeth.

    since you can’t recognise an obvious joke.

    That clearly goes both ways.

    Maybe we’ve both got too used to dealing with yanks on the internet.

      I’ve always said that ours (and yours, cos whilst our two nations comedy is different, there’s a shit load of overlap) is too subtle for text communication!

      And yeah, fucking yanks online… I’ve had a few drinks and a little bit of weed, so excuse this rant, but yanks online are fucked. I’ve met plenty in Australia and on my travels (including when I travelled the US) in person. 99% of them were lovely and I could chat with them and have a beer. But online? They are fucked for the most part. And I know that’s a generalisation, and most of the online Americans are great, but those who aren’t? They are so bad that they ruin my opinion of the good ones so badly I don’t even remember the good interactions.
