A British Guy Drove a Truck to Hooters in America and Now Understands Why We're the Best

Every European that has ever espoused disbelief that America is the greatest place that has ever existed should have to spend a week here driving around in a truck to go do badass shit. As a matter of fact, if I were the president, I'd have us pay for this program — we send enough money overseas that doesn't get us nearly the benefits this would. You can get a free trip to the United States and go back home to your country that has no air conditioning, pickup trucks or Hooters and recount to everyone the beauty of the Land of the Free.

I'd actually give anything to be able to feel that first rush of American freedom as an adult. Sure, it's amazing that the 50 stars and 13 bars are all I've ever known, but being able to remember how it felt to get your first hit has to be unbelievable. You live 25 years in the wilderness and then finally get to experience what life is supposed to feel like.

Do not take this life for granted. There are people in this world right now walking down cobblestone streets to go eat fish and flaccid fries. Enjoy an ice cold beer and some wings tonight for those who can't.
