Correct Response: The Resurgence of the Australian-American War

When a fighter jet flies by and your worried girlfriend asks you if it's from the US, it's not funny to say "The Japanese are attacking!" Yes, you are in Hawaii, but she was at Ground Zero on 9/11/01. Bonus: Her Grandfather was a WW2 Marine. #LFMF

Incorrect source or offensive?

    Actually, it is very funny.

    And just FYI, if her granddaddy was a marine in WWII, he wasn’t a Pearl when it was attacked. Most likely he joined up afterwords.

      It’s probably a not a Perl Harbour reference, it’s more likely to be from the rest of the pacific war. The battles for control of Guadacanal caused FAR more damage. ( there’s a reason that in the Solomons there is an area called Iron Bottom Sound)

  2. Taran Alvein says:

    Could’ve been worse. You could’ve said China. That’d actually be plausible.

  3. Ahh! Real Monsters says:

    Your g/f is a dumbass

  4. Malkiot says:

    Who would get upset because of something trivial as that. Stupid question anyway… fighters in American airspace are probably American, if it wasn’t it would’ve been shot down long before it got there, unless it was an ally.

  5. Lagerbaer says:

    This reminds me of the time when there was a very brief war/kerfuffle between Georgia and Russia and some people from the US State of Georgia were worried and asked when the tanks would come. Lol.

  6. Tommycat says:

    Proper response would be to turn to the Grandfather and say, “What? Too soon?”

  7. Roger says:

    “Yes, you are in Hawaii, but she was at Ground Zero on 9/11/01″

    Not only that, but those planes were from the US.

  8. Ralf says:

    Don’t worry, 9/11/01 was nearly 11 years ago. We’re about halfway there to it finally being funny.

    Remember people, 22.3 years and we’re golden.

  9. zippybigballs says:

    pfft. oversensitive skank.

    I’m suprised no one got the Grand Theft Auto reference…
