However, if some evil fairy came to me, took away my life as an American, and commanded me to choose another citizenship, I would definitely choose British. (First I would cry a lot and ask the mean fairy to leave me alone.) British people are just so cool!
Case in point: Today, after a spirited game of ultimate frisbee, an English doctor (who was playing frisbee with us) commented on my sweat-soaked shirt, "My, you're quite saturated!" He said it with the certain charm that only Englishmen possess.
Quite humorous!
