Well, keep your nationality a secret and maybe you can get away with it.

Yes, but more importantly.
You eat crappy food and have an alliance with the JWs.

Why would I keep my nationality a secret? I am perceived to be a totally honest business operator because of my standards and my actions. Nationality has nothing to do with it.

Originally posted by RJHinds Do you have hamburgers, french fries, and vanillia shakes there?
I tend to eat pretty healthy food, including a lot of fresh fruit. I also - for the most part - keep proteins separate from carbohydrates and eat them at different mealtimes.
Originally posted by FMF In what way do you think my nationality is related to my trustworthiness?
That is what the former French President said. I thought he knew about
the food. Of course he did say Finland had the worst food and the British
was next. He associated trustworthiness with how bad the food was.

It's not a particularly funny thing to say but, I suppose, a bit cheeky when said by a French President, and therefore sort of funny coming from him. But it certainly has worn even thinner with you repeating it here more than once, and kind of draws attention to the fact that you are not very funny yourself, although people might laugh at you from time to time. Doesn't this kind of lame banter belong on General Forum, seeing as it has no spiritual dimension?

Typical Brit.
What you need is a bacon double cheeseburger with extra mayo, a large helping of seasoned fries, and an ice cold Jamocha Shake from Arby's.
THEN, maybe you'd be qualified to even SPEAK to an American. ðŸ˜

Can the British be trusted?
