While looking though The Boston Public Library's Flickr account, I found this picture, and decided to share with you all the reasons I find it funny. Just for fun. I see a lot of these sorts of pictures! Everything is symbolic sure, but let's do this anyway.

The Able Doctor, or America Swallowing the Bitter Draught - by Paul Revere, 1773. (Digital copy available at the National Archives website). Check out the pesky merchant looking up America's skirt while the French and Spanish look on and Britannia facepalms.

I think there should be a Bond heroine named Britannia Facepalms.
