Okay, actually can you think of some jokey criticism of U.S. policy that your European audiences tend to go for? Basically, I'm going to stick it in this paragraph:

What does the accelerating success of this progressive young couple tell us about the here and now and perhaps even the little bit later? Kilstein, whose act draws heavily on politics and religion, has won particular acclaim in Europe, the denizens of which are hungry for reassurance that Americans still understand irony. SHORT FUNNY LINE ABOUT HOW AMERICA SUCKS ZOMG LOL That he is far better known internationally than he is in the U.S. may probably be explained by this desire for an America that can once again evoke laughter of the intentional sort.

Oops, forgot the reason for e-mailing you - he wants me to throw in one of your jokes. I was thinking of just using one of your joke-y answers, but it might be better if you provide me with your best one. It would need to be pretty short
