“Wha is et?”
England: “Um, we need to defeat the Kaiser.”
“More work?”
England: “Y-yeah. Can you help us?”
“Right-o.”
England: “Um, Germany is that way.”
“Off I go then.”
America rolls across the countryside
“Job’s done!”
American with a shotgun: "I SHOT THE SHERIFF, AND THE DEPUTY, AND YOUR WEE DOGGY TOO"
Germans: "Scheiße, who invited these lunatics to a civilized war?"
