If you want the real explanation (and the funniest) watch this.

These two men have been making me laugh for over 40 years. Try to ignore the extremely posh English accents if you’re not from here; just listen carefully. You will like it.

  1. Drayton, I posted this video to some of my friends because it’s really good, and for many more reasons than purely entertainment value.

    The reason is, while it may give you a good laugh, many folks don’t know that this video was done in 2007 — a year before. And it predicted exactly what would happen a year later.

    How can two comedians predict what would happen when it took our governments and “experts” a year to catch on, particularly when it was too late?

    Amazing. Funny. But deadly accurate.
