I went to a bonfire on Guy Fawkes Day in the UK and it was awesome. Very big fire.
I made some jokes about "trying again" but those jokes did not seem to land well.
Does it bother them that people like us take the "wrong" lesson from Guy Fawkes Day?

When they hear my American accent, I think they understand a little more and just roll their eyes at me.
