Hmmmmmmmmm.
Something to think about while American dreaming then I guess. I've never thought we were flirty as a nation. Perhaps it takes the absence to make it noticeable.

I'd certainly miss double entendre. Thinking about it, we're just rude really aren't we? I was reading an American review of a British comedy* the other day and it said something like, "I wouldn't call this family viewing - parents will want to watch it first as it contains many sexual references unsuitable for children." I honestly can't remember what it was now, but it was something SO tame. I guess in this country we assume innuendo goes over children's heads, and when it doesn't, they know enough for it not to harm them!

British comedy is often referred to as "potty humor"
