Americans Have No Sense Of Humour

I know that’s not strictly accurate, but they really don’t seem to understand the British sense of humour. After the various conversations I have had with Americans about Monty Python[1. Funniest Show Evar!] and how most Americans think it’s just weird, there are reports today that Mrs Slocombe’s Pussy has been banned.

Specifically, following the death of Mollie Sugden, people were leaving messages on Twitter and using the hashtag #MrsSlocombesPussy.

Now, if you’re English and older than about 10 you will perfectly understand the reference and will undoubtedly tickle you just thinking about it. If you’re American though I doubt, unless you’ve seen the TV Show “Are You Being Served” you will understand what the hell it means.

So, Americans, you need to watch Are You Being Served and then re-instate the hashtag!
