Wow, no Eddie Izzard fans here? I'm surprised - no one got the "Cake or death" reference.

Eddie Izzard on the British:

"We stole countries! That's how you build an empire. We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Sail halfway round the world, stick a flag in. 'I claim India for Britain!' And they're going, 'You can't claim us. We live here! There's five hundred million of us.' 'Do you have a flag?' 'We don't need a flag, this is our country, you bastard!'"

Later, on how Brits always play Imperials in Star Wars:

"What is it, Lieutenant Sebastian?"
"It’s the Rebels, sir. They’re here."
"My God, man! Do they want tea?"
"No, I think there after something more than that, sir. I don’t know what it is ... but they’ve brought a flag."

...

I think I'll hold off on posting any more excessively off-topic posts in this thread. It's starting to get a bit out of hand. But I'll leave this one since the joke does contain a Star Wars reference. And everyone really should watch some of Eddie Izzard's stand-up, even if he does dress in drag for some inexplicable reason.
