Flags

Flags are great. There's so much history behind them, so much hard work and achievement... Flags can be useful, though, too. Sometimes, when you move a flag or hang it in a certain way, then you're trying to send a message. Here are a few examples:

• If you hang any flag at half-mast: Mourning
• If you hang the American flag upside-down: Bring help
• If you hang a white flag at half-mast: You're a pessimist
• If you hang the Canadian flag upside down: You're American
• If you hang the British flag upside-down: You're an idiot
• If you hang a white flag upside-down: You should see an eye doctor
• If you burn an American flag: You're probably not happy
• If you burn a Canadian flag: The Leafs lost... Again.
• If you burn a white flag: You're Cheney
• If you burn a black flag with a skull-and-crossbones: You hate wall street bankers
• If you burn a French flag: You're jealous of their 5 week mandatory vacation
