A FEW "FRENCH" JOKES -- OUCH!

Some time back, France's U.S. Embassy blasted Gov. Bill Owens (on a Monday) for "unfortunate and ill-informed" jokes about the French. (This was, of course, during Chirac's "reign.")

What they were complaining about was that in his keynote speech on the previous Saturday at the Michigan Republican Party Convention, Owens quipped, "You know why they planted those big trees along the boulevard in Paris? So the invading armies could march in the shade."

And, he continued, "You know why the new French navy has glass-bottom boats? So it can see the old French navy." (Ed Note: Not bad for an Amercan politician!)

This Frenchman Is Not Kidding...and He Got This Right!

FRENCHMAN: Life is like a properly exposed black and white photograph, there are a complete range of tones, from purest white to deepest black. You need to examine the simple cowardice that is at the heart of the intellectual dishonesty preventing you from calling evil, evil. People's behavior, not intentions, is what defines their moral status. It's not a judgment, or even an opinion, it's a recognition of reality.

GIVING UP ALL THINGS FRENCH . . .

I was going to give up using anything French, but as much as I tried, I couldn't find anything that I used that WAS French...

Letting the Soviets grab eastern Europe was no big deal. The biggest mistake we made at the end of WWII was giving France back to the French. If they were so willing to give it away, who were we to make them take it back?

How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb?

One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him.

"Greece asked NATO...for a presence in Athens in case the Olympics are attacked by al-Qa'ida. Everyone's skills can be utilized. The U.S. will provide the armor, Britain the air cover, Germany the street patrol, and France the evacuation."--Argus Hamilton

FRANCE UPGRADES HER TERROR ALERT
In light of the Madrid bombing, France raised their terror alert level from "RUN" to "HIDE."

The only higher levels in France are "SURRENDER" and "COLLABORATION."
