British everyday with the only thing stopping a launch from one of their subs was a bicycle's key.
Americans everyday when the code for their nukes was 00000000 for over 20 years. Also when you almost nuked yourselves.

>Also when you almost nuked yourselves.

1988 October 25.
International dick measuring contest day.
According to CIA administration on that day Serbs won by far, average Serbian dick was above 9inches long with girth that is slightly larger than coke can.
USA started to feel insecure and secretly started "NoKekoldToSerbs" operation to whipe out 9millions of Serbs. Russia backed up Serbs and ordered counter attack with whole nuclear arsenal.
Finaly world setled down and accepted that Serbian huge dick should not be the reason for nuclear holocaust.
On that day Serbs were celebrating for dodging their destruction by waving their dicks on Belgrade square. Some meteoroligsts over Europe measured earthquake 3,2 on Richter sclae caused by colosal size of dicks movement in Belgrade.
That time during the Yugoslavian wars when an US general nearly caused an incident with the Russians and the British General there was like: "I'm not going to start Third World War for you."
