Do you blame her? The only people who take her seriously are tourists. US politicians in every level of government certainly aren't fulfilling her message: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

I feel very much the same way right now. But I’m not flipping off the same Americans. Just those that would rather have an ancient convicted rap*st, convicted felon, & creep who mimicked performing a s*x act on a microphone over a woman. It makes me sick thinking about it. The depression is real. (Note for tRumpers; I won’t respond, so save your breath. You’re going to need it for when the speed at which he destroys democracy takes it away.)

I think she will be in for a shock when she reaches the EU. They will just turn her around and send her to the UK.

Try being unemployed, sick or injured; providing a good education for your children; achieving a healthy work-life balance; or simply enjoying everyday life with low stress in both countries, and you'll soon realize that the answer is yes. Even with the current messed up political situation, it is still far better — unless you're part of the super-rich. In that case, the USA is specifically designed for you :)

One can be proud of something, and understand it is not perfect, and needs improvement. Like a parent with an unruly child...you don't stop loving them, even when they do stupid stuff. Not even when they disappoint you. There are a lot of disappointed Americans out there, now.

Currently, 124k Facebook users follow the appropriately named ‘UK Ambulance Humour’ page on the social network. Moreover, the page has collected 65k likes. The curators of this project openly note that “not everyone will understand” the British ambulance service jokes they feature. However, from their point of view, “the elite few that do” will have a great time.
Humor can be a powerful coping mechanism. Laughter can get you through the toughest of times. It’s not rare to see people in emotionally draining and mentally demanding jobs rely on it to look for a silver lining. When you’re constantly surrounded by pain and misery, you need to find a way to stay sane. Namely, embracing gallows humor.

Funny how a few weather satellites, a bit of doppler radar, and some science will take all the fun out of life...
Ambulance service personnel, first responders, doctors, and nurses are particularly well-known for having a penchant for dark, grim, and ironic humor due to the nature of their work. As do mortuary workers, soldiers, firefighters, police officers, people with serious illnesses, and the like.
Embracing humor when times are hard shouldn’t make you feel guilty. It’s only natural.

Laughter is good for us. Not just subjectively but from a scientific perspective, too. Research shows that laughter lowers our blood pressure, suppresses our pain, strengthens our immune system, and increases our endorphin levels.
It’s also a way for our bodies to manage stress and reduce our anxiety. So, from a purely biophysical point of view, it makes sense to find things to laugh at if you’re constantly in stressful, highly tense situations.

I can confirm this is a real road sign and yes, we do slow down and drive more carefully for *red* squirrels.. or at least we do in the select few islands and biosecurity zones where they still exist - they're extinct in Wales and 99% of England because of the little grey bastards that Tarquin and Farquhar decided to import from america in the 1800's, thinking it was a spiffing idea to have an invasive species in the gardens of their manor house.. Greys carry squirrel pox which they're immune to but is 100% fatal in reds. They've driven dozens of other species to the verge of or in to extinction because of how destructive they are - Sycamore trees are all but gone, 70% of Beech trees have been destroyed, both English and French Oak as well as Chestnut tree stocks are down by over 40%, all because of greys - they chew the bark off to trim their teeth down, and once there's a ring of bark missing all the way round the tree dies. Save the reds!!

Husband special - for an extra $200, we'll tell her it wasn't your fault.
According to Marilyn Mendoza, Ph.D., a clinical instructor in the psychiatry department at Tulane University Medical Center, humor and hospices might sound like an unlikely combination but it’s one that works.
“It is said that there is a time and a place for everything. Most people believe that hospice is a time for sadness and grief and certainly there are times of great sadness,” she writes on Psychology Today.
“The truth is that hospice can also be a place for humor. A study done at Kent State and reported in the American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care revealed that humor was present in 85 percent of 132 observed nurse-based visits. Amazingly, they found that 70 percent of the humor was initiated by the patient. If humor is a part of living, then why should it not be a part of dying?”

A foul-beaked parrot who got stuck on a roof has told firefighters trying to rescue it to ‘f**k off’. Jessie, a turquoise and yellow macaw, spent three days on the roof of a house in Edmonton, North London. London Fire Brigade were eventually called to help with the rescue after the RSPCA and her owner were unable to coax her down, but they received a beak-ful of abuse from the bird. --UK Metro 2018
Furthermore, humor can help someone in the midst of the grieving process. Learning to laugh again can be beneficial for our health. For instance, one study found that widows and widowers who could smile and laugh when remembering their loved ones experienced less anxiety and depression.
“Many successful bereavement groups incorporate laughter where members are encouraged to share humorous experiences associated with their loved one,” Mendoza explains.

What’s more, humor is absolutely vital for those individuals who work with people who are passing away. Not only is humor a way for them to bond with their coworkers but it also helps counter some of the effects of emotional exhaustion.
In some hospices, the staff participate in so-called Laugh Day team meetings where they share funny things about themselves and their work.

Failed already. Finished work at 5:30 the other day. Commented “Goddamn it’s dark outside already!”
One literature review out of Bournemouth University took a look at how United Kingdom ambulance service staff and paramedics use humor, and how this affects their well-being.
According to the researchers, many members of the British ambulance community see their use and expression of humor as a “positive coping strategy” that relieves stress. The underlying suggestion is that using (appropriate) humor among frontline medical staff should be encouraged.

Pull a sickie every once in a while, no one will blame you.
Broadly speaking, the most successful memes are the ones that the audience finds the most relatable. The odds are that you won't make everyone happy with your particular brand of humor. However, if you stick to your niche, post consistently, and find ways to connect to other internet users, you'll probably end up creating a nice little digital community.
It's usually best to go for visual clarity in your memes (that is unless you're featuring random, chaotic, no-context pics on purpose). That means using high-quality photos, clear fonts, and snappy headlines so that your audience instantly clicks with the content. Humor isn't a must to go viral, but it certainly helps!

There's a few in my neighborhood who remember faces. For good or for bad.
Which of the memes featured here did you enjoy the most, dear Pandas? Were there any that honestly befuddled or bamboozled you? Have you ever worked jobs that were so emotionally stressful that you had to constantly rely on humor just to get through the day? Do you generally prefer darker humor or something lighter?
Tell us all about it in the comments. Oh, and if you like these sorts of memes, be sure to follow the ‘UK Ambulance Humour’ page for their newest funny pics.

Just me staying in the house and suddenly craving delivery only to get half way through my online order and realizing it was far too complicated and deciding to make some fried eggs and veggie sausages. I remember, back in my day, you'd just call for delivery (said in an old voice).
