I believe we've won far more than our share based on the world's population.

Yeah well, chalk that one down to home advantage. Besides, up to that point, you were our ass.

Well, American English has been evolving along a slightly different path since the revolution, and probably before, but for the time being, we can still understand what each other is saying, even if we can't always comprehend it. But fair play to America, it has done rather well for itself.

Oh, and as you point out, some Americans are very adept at hitting small balls into slightly larger holes. Congratulations to whoever did that with such success recently.

Well, you know, we did pick up the game from one of your satellites that forgot to bail out.

I guess it wasn't simple enough yesterday for you limeys to play. By the way, can you explain why 3 of the 4 major golf championships are played in the United States?

You have to admire the time and effort these people put into acquiring such a high degree of skill at whacking a little ball around a big field with a metal stick.

You also have to admire the time and effort you people put into inventing the game.

It's not like you to grant a concession, bob. Maybe your not such an oafish, attention seeking, mean spirited, egocentric, malevolently provocative, lying, cheating knob head, after all.
