Britain decided it was time to switch left lane traffic to right lane traffic, the same as everywhere else in Europe.
    So they gathered to plan the whole thing and nobody seemed to come up with any viable solution, so they sent out some help-me type faxes.
    A couple of days later, answers come back.
    The French fax read:
    "As your neighbors, we are deeply touched you requested our help," etc., etc., "but we have no idea at all how to do it."
    The German fax read:
    "We are Germany, the most organized country in Europe, but we have not had this problem before and we do not know how to handle it."
    The Russian fax read:
    "As you know, we are Russia, a country that has done a lot on the path towards democracy and economic resuscitation. We have a great deal of experience in such progressive transitional processes. It is our proposal to handle the situation in one big step. Make it mandatory for only the trucks to drive in the right lane."
