I know that the answer is supposed to be England and it is supposed to be funny because of the word England in the phrase. But the Queen of England doesn't actually rule, does she? She is a figure head. Technically, she doesn't rule anything. Right?
See, that it why those kind of jokes don't work with me. I take them all too literally. And 5 out of 4 is a mixed fraction. 5/4 = 1 1/4.
"Your killin' me, Smalls. Killin' me..."
Sorry. I added to my post to explain further.
Of course, you can't take five out of four people That is why the joke should be funny.
But I have known people that take the same joke and explain it as 5/4 isn't a fraction, when it is.
The Queen of England does not rule. She is the Queen of England but she doesn't rule which is what the question asked. So, it is a nonsensical question. Unless someone British will conterdict me, she doesn't make laws or enforce them. She just takes tax money and serves as a symbol. So the answer to which country does the Queen of England rule, is none. She is a figurehead for Britan. I have heard that arrested development is a good show. But if the writers asked this with the intent of making fun of people who don't respond with an obvious answer of England, then the joke is turned on them.
