Brits were asked, "If we joined the U.S., where would we rank in income per person?" They guessed they'd be the 7th state in the rankings.

They were slightly off...

I would guess 47th or so.

Well, I was close :)

I originally saw an Englishman I follow post about it. He's a frequent U.S. visitor and says the UK has the same perception of say, Arkansas, that most Americans do: poor backwoods hillbillies. Because of that, he found this story to be quite funny.
