I promise you, they likely don't host very many guests.

And... you might have to be more specific when you say "Americans." I know Katt Williams or George Lopez would if they were onstage talking about racoons being kept as pets

Do all Brits have terrible teeth? I mean, I saw it in Austin Powers and some other movies, so it must be true, right?

I mean in Canada we keep moose as a regular pet Just look at my profile pic to the left of me. He is very well behaved

Also a very good children's pet as their small size makes them safer and more manageable.

You get it. And you can learn a lot from a racoon. Of course, it's not always the best things. I had a pet racoon in Texas named Stanky Bean, who taught me to chew tobacco without getting nauseous. That was at Wilkerson Middle School in Houston. Good times. I miss Stanky Bean.

I don’t about anyone else in Britain, but I see lots of youtube clips of Americans with raccoons in their houses doing funny and/or cute thing. Also I see them in Christmas adverts over here of them doing all sort of stuff funny things. Thus I made the assumption that they mat be kept by people as pets, much like…rabbits are!

Wait... you have pet rabbits? That's downright barbaric. Do you keep them to eat, like guinea pigs in Peru?

You should also note that Bears in North American don't roam freely in cities using charge accounts...oh and they don't speak English either

"I'll have the organic salmon...all of it".

Basically sums up me at the seafood counter.

I New England they’re considered as pests, not pets.
I think the proper zoological description is “they suck.”

Yorkie is also small.

I'm more confused than anything. Who would want a raccoon as a pet? Before reading this thread I never heard of anyone keeping one as a pet.

I thought they confused ferrets with raccoons.

Ferrets are very commonly kept as pets, and they look like raccoons. Like the mongoose Rikki Tiki Tavi.

They are powerful fighters, both of them. But ferrets make better pets because they will want to explore your home. Racoons just want to steal your belt buckles, like pirates.

Increasingly so. It’s almost impossible to find an NHS dentist and many Brits brush their teeth only once a day never mind using using floss and interdental brushes!

Our teeth are sensitive!

Seriously though, we all know that many Americans outside New York, LA, Chicago and Crystal City (Kansas) are very poor and you have to pay for all your health care up front. So how do they get those straight, blindingly white teeth (like you’ve swallowed a torch)?
