I was truly surprised to see someone IN the parade wearing one though. Deliberate statement or cluelessness? Someone seriously lacking a clue I would guess - "Hey, I'll wear my red, white and blue shirt!" It's that lack of awareness of the reason for the holiday that leads to Americans overseas not understanding that the 4th of July is an American holiday.<br /><br />And as for the seatbelt - the cars in the parade were moving very slowly!Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-70957574040592646432010-07-08T08:49:51.463-04:002010-07-08T08:49:51.463-04:00Hilarious!

Celebrate getting our 'ass whupped' by the colonies. Nope, don't think we'll be celebrating that one!iwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04634796111814286448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-79623225437173231192010-07-06T02:36:12.575-04:002010-07-06T02:36:12.575-04:00Hahahahaha!

An updated version. ;)<br /><br />Cute!Michellouihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841678308675092702noreply@blogger.com
