The British vs the Americans

Today I explored British vs American humour.  

British:
Q: Why isn't the England football team allowed to own a dog?
A: Because they can't hold on to a lead.

American:
A man walks into a bar with a dog. The bartender says, "You can't bring that dog in here."
"You don't understand," says the man. "This is no regular dog, he can talk."
"Listen, pal," says the bartender. "If that dog can talk, I'll give you a hundred bucks."
The man puts the dog on a stool, and asks him, "What's on top of a house?"
"Roof!"
"Right. And what's on the outside of a tree?"
"Bark!"
"And who's the greatest baseball player of all time?"
"Ruth!"
"I guess you've heard enough," says the man. "I'll take the hundred in twenties."
The bartender is furious. "Listen, pal," he says, "get out of here before I belt you."
As soon as they're on the street, the dog turns to the man and says, "Do you think I should have said 'DiMaggio'?"

British:
Q: Whats the difference between Cinderella and the England football team?
A: Cinderella wanted to get to the ball.

American:
Q: Why did the coach kick Cinderella off the baseball team?
A: Because she ran away from the ball.

British:
Why is England the wettest country?
Because the queen has reigned there for years!

American:
A newcomer to Seattle arrives on a rainy day. She  gets up the next day and it's raining. It also rains the day after that, and the day after that. She goes out to lunch and sees a young kid and, out of despair, asks, "Hey, kid, does it ever stop raining around here?" The kid says, "How should I know? I'm only 6."


Today we visit the Marie Selby garden in Florida in selective colour.
