Force was needed

"Great Queen, should we send our army to the warzones in the world, to help dealing with tyrants and madmen?"
- "Nay!"
"Then should we send them to poor places to help the local population deal with hunger and diseases?"
- "Nay!"
"Then, Great Queen, to whence should we send our armies?"
- "We bid You to stay the army in our country, for it shall help us deal with an ancient enemy which is about to attempt an invasion yet again."
"I bow to your wisdom, but may I inquire which age old enemy? Is it the Germans? Or the French? Or Irel-"
- "Nay, it is the RAIN!"

And thus, England bade its mighty armies to use its power to combat the rain.

@jakobdam you, my dear Sir, just made my day!

@jakobdam you, my good sir, are amazingly funny, and you have just made my day

@jakobdam this sounds like a badass children's book. Well done, sir.

Can you prove that it ISN'T what they used the army for?

This reminds me of Emperor Caligula, who declared war on Neptune and sent soldiers to stab the water.

@AxolotlPie what did he expect the result of that would be?

@ryttyr I saw something on a Documentary; a historian made a claim that Caligula was disciplining his army. Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to be in the World's Largest Army, yet your most recent deployment was picking up seashells?

@thescientist at least they didn't have to fear for their own lives on the battlefield.

@AxolotlPie he declared war..... on a god? ;-; (since u know, Neptune was a god :P

No, no, no! If you poke holes in the clouds with all those bullets, they'll just LEAK more!

I SET FIIIIIIRE
TO THE RAAAAAAIN

@marcoreos you can set fire to rain? how? when could u do that? ;O;

England has been hanging out with America too much, I think.

@ShoggothOnTheRoof like father, like son. Or however the saying goes.

Could they turn the rain into snow? And send it to the rest of europe? The lack of snow is disturbing.

@MLatviaA snow in England? Don't make me laugh

And then the joke turned real with americans intending to shoot at the hurricane.

@piir2 They just showed the world that they are as we stereotype them. Idiots with guns that think shooting at a problem will make it go away.

@Fluffkin True that

...and now it's raining falling bullets. Good Job, soldier!
...
...Soldier?

Would love to see one where you poke at Denmark for beginning to act like Nazi-Germany. Since the Government has now decided that the police can steal/plunder valuables from refugees, just like the SS did from jews.
