After 42 happy years I am getting a divorce from America. From the very emerging of my childhood consciousness I have been.....

Hey, hey, hey, just shut up go away! Nobody asked you for a f#@&ing explanation!

[BlueNgold]

I would have told him how jolly British I was — but luckily for him he’d gone off in search of reinforcements.

This is the line that defines and codifies the absolute arrogance of the author. Yes, do tell, lucky for him he got along and sought reinforcements. I can't imagine the verbal bloodbath he avoided.

Good day, sir, and good luck. I've a feeling you will need it.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

B-but I’m British

So are a significant number of "asians" (read muslims) in the world.

Don't let the door ...ah, fergetit!

[auto power]

good riddance...and DON'T COME BACK.

[RobbyS]

Who the heck is Boris Johnson? (Yeah, I know, a hack)

[Uncledave]

Waahhh...the opus of an a$$wipe.

[nmh]

Maybe more liberals would do this.

AH, too good to even think about. I can wish, though ... .

[Ancesthntr]

...and I tender my resignation from the United States, with sadness, but in the knowledge that she is probably big enough to rub along without me. Goodbye and God bless, America.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

[rintense]

Door meet ass.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Good riddance. "Don't let the screen door hit ya, where the GOOD LORD split ya"

Well as another poster stated, perhaps the 14th Amendment needs to be tweaked as far as citizenship at birth goes, or if the law can be clarified without a change to the Constitution even better.
I really don't understand why if a person can properly travel with a passport issued by another country they are REQUIRED to enter the US using their American passport, particularly if they can be identified as holding other passports as Mr. Boris here was so identified, can anyone offer a well thought out rationale? Please also consider hundreds of thousands cross our Southern, and I assume Northern borders weekly with nothing more than an oral declaration of American.

[wildbill]

As if anyone cares. Some people can get their junk published anywhere and some of us can't. I'm jealous.

[ANGGAPO]

Don't let the gate slap you in the butt as you go.

[The Great RJ]

Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out and don't forget to pack your Dixie Chicks CDs. Could you also please take some people with you like Michael Moore and about 200 Hollywood lefties who promised to leave but didn't.

[MaggieCarta]

Hey! Boris (sort of) rhymes with "divorce us"....

Fifty Ways to Leave This Country
Tune: Fifty Ways to Leave your Lover

"The problem is all inside his head", I say to thee
The answer is easy if you take it logically
There’s no need to “interpret the psychology”
I want to help him in his struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave this country

I say, he’s really a rather laughable old dude.
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being rude
There must be fifty ways to leave this country
Fifty ways to leave this country

You just slam the door shut, mutt
Go live in Iran, man.
You don't need to be coy, boy
Just listen to me
Hop to it, Boris
Go ahead and divorce us
You want to resign? Fine!
C’est terminé? Nein!

Get to the Departm’nt of State, mate
Or go to a court, sport
You don't need to be coy, boy
Just listen to me
Hop to it, Boris
Go ahead and divorce us
Just drop off the key, see
And get yourself free

[Lancey Howard]

Huh. The author never provides a punchline.

[RGSpincich]

Had he never used an American passport he would not have had this problem. The question raised is why are you not using that passport now? Has it been revoked or confiscated for cause? No switcheroos allowed.

[Republicus2001]

Where are those Egyptians?

[Madame Dufarge]

It's America's fault he was too stupid or lazy to do the paperwork?

How will we ever recover from the loss?
