Laurence Brown of Lost in the Pond never learned about the Fourth of July, nor the American Revolution, in his history classes because he was raised in Britain, and they don't spend a lot of class time on wars they lost. When he moved to the US to marry an American, he got a crash course in celebrating Independence Day from his in-laws, who were tickled to have a real Brit to kick around for the occasion. But Brown gets the last laugh, as he tells us about the Fourth of July celebrations in Britain (of all places). Besides that, he's an American citizen now, despite the accent. Brown's first Fourth of July as an American is certainly worth celebrating. But he's still going to be careful what he says around Chainsaw Jim.
