19 aThe Brits were unnerved,
20 Never having been in this situation before.
21 So, not wanting to do things the easy way,
22 They hired a bunch of bGerman mercenaries to suppress the rebellion for them,
23 cWhich didn't work out exactly right,
24 dAnd led to the establishment of the United States of America as a free and independent nation,
25 Which still doesn't mean that the Brits lost a war,
26 Since it was obviously a revolution,
27 eAnd revolutions don't count.
CHAPTER 251 fIn fact, the Brits had another unfortunate encounter with the United States a little later on,

CHAPTER 261 But fortunately for the Brits, there were other parts of the world,
2 Places where there were vast numbers of brave natives willing to outnumber the Brits in defense of their homelands,
3 Which enabled the Brits to fight in the proper way,
4 Against great odds,
5 Wearing very nice uniforms,
6 Except for the ones that included short pants,
7 qWhich turned out to be okay anyway because the Brits have never understood that short pants are not nice, but silly.
8 And so, as the rdim-witted Georges gave way to dim-witted monarchs with other names,
9 Brit power and influence expanded enormously,
10 sUntil there were huge Brit colonies in Africa,
11 tAnd India,
12 uAnd Asia,
13 vAnd Indochina,
14 wAnd Australia,
15 xAnd Canada,
16 yAnd Ireland,
17 zAnd Wales,
