O, to be a Brit chick...

... 'cause they're kickass.

Not only are they the first ones to get a "female vasectomy," (*gasps* I want! I want!) they're also so tough that when one husband shoots his wife in the head before shooting himself, she survives and makes a fucking cup of tea when the cops come (Earl Gray, two lumps, thanks).

The entire United Kingdom and I are gonna have one hot date someday, yo.

*EDIT:  It's just been brought to this lamebrained blogger's attention that the woman in the tea story is actually an American (Thanks, Tate), even if the story is from a British publication.  Here's where actually paying attention would have come in handy.  Alas... I'm still drooling over the Brits, so stuff it.

um - do you realize it's an AMERICAN woman?

D'OH! Then why was it in the Telegraph?! Sheesh.

Okay. Guess GRITs got a holla there, then.

The only thing that shocks me about this story is that I'm not that American wife. And, sadly, had I been, I probably wouldn't have waited around for my husband to shoot himself. I'd have grabbed the gun and shot him for daring to interfere with my progress toward making up my cuppa Earl Grey (with cream, thanks). Can't live without that cuppa or two in the mornings!

have just found your blog, and it's fun.

I have to comment though. Earl Grey tea is drunk black, or with lemon. And tea, with cream!! never, ever, ever.
Just to help you become a Brit Chick!
