If there is one thing America loves more than being the hero, It's punching people in the face.
Example 1: People say that George Washington had no teeth because of dental problems. The truth is that George Washington borrowed America's favorite jacket without asking, which got America so pissed at him that he punched George in the face. Out came all his teeth. After that, George never borrowed anything from anyone again.
Example 2: People say that the Grand Canyon was naturally formed. The truth is that America was so pissed that Arizona had taken Tony to a bar and gotten his drunk that America had punched him in the face and gave him a giant gash. That was how the Grand Canyon was formed.
Example 3: This one is America's personal favorite. That little bastard, Sealand, asked America if he could help him become a country for the 500th time and America was sick of it. America got so pissed that he punched Sealand in the face so hard that a fire started on the "nation."
Moral of story: If you don't want to be punched in the face, don't piss America off.
