Men Do Cry - All Over the World
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=757&e=1&u=/nm/20040921/od_nm/britain_crying_dc

LONDON (Reuters) - British men are abandoning their stiff upper lips but still do not wear their hearts on their sleeves like Americans, a new survey showed on Tuesday.

When it comes to raw emotion, the once buttoned-up Brits are now happy to shed tears quite openly -- but Italians can still "out-sob" them.

"Thirty percent of all British males have cried in the last month. That is a very high figure," said Peter Marsh, director of the Social Issues Research Center which took the emotional temperature of Britain.

"Only two percent said they could not remember when they last cried," the head of the independent research group said.

1. I cry when my team wins
It never happens so when it does I get all misty-eyed.

Signed,
Girlie Man

2. If I were a Brit hostage watching my cell get one man smaller
each night, I'd be crying right now, also.
