A funny thing happened when Frodo was wondering what JohnIII's accent sounded like. Frodo decided to call up AT&T to see how much it would cost to call JohnIII in England.
Frodo: Hello, I was wondering-
AT&T: Your call is important to us. Please hold, as all our staff are busy right now.
Annoying music began to play.
Frodo: La la la la LA LA LA SHUT UP YOU-
AT&T: All of our staff are still busy. We apologize for keeping you on hold so long.
More annoying music.
Frodo: Enough! No accent is worth this! God, I would give anything never to hear this music again! I wish all recordings of it were sent to Mars!
Suddenly, a booming voice was heard�
VERY WELL, said the voice. IT SHALL BE AS YOU REQUESTED.
Suddenly, the music stopped. The phone line went dead.
Frodo: Great snakes! What could have happened?
The phone suddenly rang.
Frodo: Hello?
JohnIII: Toodle pip, old chap! I decided to give you a ring, wot wot?
Frodo: How did you get this number?
JohnIII: Ah well, ye noo, laddie, I was reclining in me recliner when I heard this booming voice- enough to give a chap a fright. I say! Gave me yeh�re number, the voice did. Pleasant feller.
Frodo: The booming voice! Who could it have been?
JohnIII: Rather tough question, me lad. Suppoe we�ll have to slap on our thinking caps, doncha know, wot wot?
Frodo: God, I would give anything to know who that was.
Suddenly, the booming voice was heard again.
VERY WELL, said the voice. IT SHALL BE AS YOU REQUESTED.
Suddenly, Frodo and JohnIII found themselves on Mars.
JohnIII: We�re on Mars! What do you know, old chap!
Frodo: What was that voice?
IT WAS ME, went the voice. I AM DAVE, GOD OF MARS.
JohnIII: Aye, toodle pip, Dave old fellow.
I AM ALSO GOD OF AT&T, said DAVE.
Frodo: Did you pick that music?
YES, said DAVE. I RATHER LIKED IT.
Frodo: Wonderful. God exists, and he�s got bad taste.
JohnIII: Keep it down to a whisper, laddie. You want to get us excommunicated?
Frodo: Enough! I want answers!
JohnIII: Here we go. You�re in for it now, laddie buck.
Frodo: So, God, what did you think of the Phantom Menace? And does Luke go to hell for kissing his sister?
DO NOT BOTHER ME WITH PETTY QUESTIONS, said DAVE.
Frodo: But I want to know�
PLEASE EXCUSE ME FOR CUTTING OFF YOUR AIR SUPPLY, said DAVE.
Frodo: Is Gates really working for the Devil-acck!
Frodo:
JohnIII:
GOODBYE, said DAVE.
Frodo and JohnIII sure were in a mess. Only Zekkei could save them now!

As they were in Australia, land of Drongos! Alphaman was being annoying, JohnIII was starting to speak normally, and thinking DAVE should be HAL, and Frodo was babbling about some "Phantom Menace" thingy. Only Zekkei could save them from the marauding barbeques now!
John III

Stupid yanks, just cos they have a big army they think they can take the mick out of anyone, just remember if we (the ENGLISH) hadn't bothered to go and discover america the yanks would still be running about with bows and arrows!!!!!!!!!.
Don't take this abuse JohnIII,
JUST REMEMBER IF IT WASN'T FOR THE ENGLISH THE YANKS WOULDN'T BE HERE!!!!!!!!!

If you tried reading the whole thread, Ser_Olmy, you would have been able to tell JohnIII was English himself by his accent
