    But we have metric cheeseburgers. Who else would implement the metric system in relation to cheeseburgers to prepare people for the rest of changes that the metric system will bring?

    I'm afraid you're wrong. The Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series in 1992 and 1993.

    Great. That scuttles that idea. Maybe Japan or Malaysia will win one day.

    The World Series got their name from the sponsorship of a New York newspaper, The World. It actually has nothing to do with making a global statement.

    But I think America is great because you can get breakfast all day, every day.

    America makes Canada seem so nice. That's a plus, in a way.

    And America brought the world Tom Selleck.

    America is great because so many other countries believed in us and gave us help just in the nick of time, a lot of times. Ironically it has been the British as of late. One time it was the French. Plus everybody kept sending us genius inventors, capitalists and idealists which was also ironic. Also Americans were the first to drive on the right side of the road.

    America is great because we invented microwave popcorn. Oh, and that whole "went to the Moon" thing you keep hearing about.

    America is great because we created the shining city on the hill.

    Now, is that a fluorescent city, or is Jack Nicholson wandering around there with an axe?

    AIGB we gave the world Basketball. And, it was central America where the Aztecs preluded Basketball with their rubber ball, stone girdle and and stone rim to put the ball through.
    All made in Americas.

    America is great because every few years we change governments without a shot fired.

    That's because so many shots are drunk instead.
