A Scouser at ground zero just after the twin towers fell asks a passer-by, "What time is it, mate?"
An American replies, "That's a mad accent, where are you from?"
The Scouser says, "Liverpool."
The American says, "Oh, what state is that in?"
The Scouser looks around and says, "About the same state as this, mate, but what time is it?"
Alright listen up, ya cotton-headed ninny muggins! So, this Scouser—that's someone from Liverpool, which is a city in England—is at Ground Zero after the Twin Towers fell. Ground Zero is what they call the site of the World Trade Center after it got attacked. The American asks what state Liverpool is in. The Scouser's response is dark because he is comparing the state of Liverpool to the state of destruction at Ground Zero. Get it? Sheesh.
