david... i gotta tell ya, you owe me a fuggin KEYBOARD you %$%$# bastige!

LMAO.

To all the "angry" remarks here:

CAREFUL. You're all falling into the political correct attitude appropiate to current events.

In short, this would have been considered quite funny by all and even taken in good humor by frenchies before "all this" happened.

Now please find us the one for the Dutch, I hear they got a good one too

the only "frenchmen' in the "French Foreign Legion' are the officers , thats why they call it the "french FOREIGN legion ", well ok , maybe some french criminals snuck in.

This is an all time classic post.

I am sure the French are great one on one. It is just their leaders that suck.

I don't think that redneck Americans can say toejam about the French unless they have actually packed a bag and visited there. If you don't have your American head up your bellybutton you will find a most friendly and gracious people. That wives tale about the 'rude French' is brought on by the 'ugly American' whom insists that the whole world speak English. Americans trash on other nations but Americans love to gloss over things like oh.. slavery..the elimiation of an entire race of natives..segregation..civil rights (or the lack of) not to mention the treatment of women and our horrid record of treating the environment.

yes, yes..the pickup driving-middle American flag waver will hoot and holler and try and pidgeon hole me for such a view but we certainly aren't the squeeky clean utopia that we like to saw we are.

Been there.

The people were fine.

The police, customs, car rental people, waiters, hotel workers, politicans, phone operators, etc were all prime pinheads.

and Paris smelled like an over full diaper.

But, that was 30 years ago.

I hear it's worse now.

just think hawk , you could move to france and live there all your life and no frenchmen will ever call you a "frenchmen", but a frenchmen can move to the USA and be a "american" the next day.

1776 ring a bell?

Want to talk who first brought slaves to the North American continent?

Who started (and pretty well made inevitable) the eradication of the Native American?

BTW, I recognize this as an attempt a humor but I think there's a problem with timing here. There's a bit too much serious stuff going on in the world for this type of humor right now.

Just my .02. But I'll bet there were a bunch of things Americans no longer thought were funny after the morning of 9/11. Just as the French probably don't think this is too funny right now.

Toad....

Well Said!

Unfortunately the French are... well the French and they know all....

(<---- diddlyYou Animal, you third world wanna be American. No Puerto Rico is not a state!)

Who knows, when the current terrorists in their population take over, maybe we should let them. Like they could be worse????

Maybe we can persuade the French to at least fart in Sadaams general direction.
