Steve Painter gets an emergency phone call one day. The U.S. Ambassador has asked him and Kev Thomas to go to New York to help the Americans clear up at Ground Zero after the terrible doings on Sept 11.

After working all day, all sweaty, shitty and knackered, Mayor Rudi Guilliani turns up to meet the men. All the men line up and Painter hears the Mayor talking to the first man

"So son, great work you are doing here. Who are you?"
to which the bloke replies
"The names David Lewis, Sir. I'm from Chicago, Illinois."

The dignitaries move down the line and talk to another man.
"You're work is helping rebuild our nation, son. What is your name?"
to which the man replied
"Patrick McMahon, Sir. From Boston, Massachussets".

The mayor moves down to Steve Painter and addresses him.
"Son, what you are doing here is symbolic of the American way of life, freedom. Who are you, son?"
Steve replies
"Steven Painter, sir. From Saltney."
"Saltney eh?" the Mayor replies, "and what state is that in?"
to which Steve answered "It's fucking worse than this, Sir"
