Leathermang-and I thought you liked me???!!!
All this discussion about Canada is academic - it's really like an attached US province. At least that's what Goldie Hawn said. And according to Brittney Spears, it's "overseas", so who cares? BTW- could we send Clintons to Canada? somewhere in Quebec. To punish Canadians for being impertinent and living in cities that look too European! OK, now I'm being silly... :

Piotr , Why did you ask that ? Are you a Canidian Comedian ? If so you took my post opposite from my sentiments... The majority of the top 40 funny people I know of came from Canada...Second City ( I have never seen the show) was the main breeding /recruiting ground for SNL talent..
I believe whatever Spears says.... Don't tell Canadians that they are an " attached province" , they do not like that ... they are an independant Maple Leaf waving country... talk about a NON aggressive mascot... a leaf ! |

How did we get on the topic of dissing France? Why would many people on this thread start flaming on the French? Do you mean that you disagree with their Politics? Sounds like many of you got issues with French people in general... pretty classy coming from Mercedes owners who think of themselves as better than others
This is exactly how this forum becomes messed up. Topics like these cause flames and the fun of the open discussions are lost. I personally can care less about the French people. I have met some nice and some rude French, unfortunately I have seen more of the latter in my life. Oh btw.. I am looking forward to be flamed now for what I said. I have tossed myself on the open flame :p |

A former French fencing master I studied with said it all when he said: France: Best sweets, worst sanitation

Kyle makes a good point about the French Foreign Legion. Its enlisted men were all foreign. Foreign Sergeants in the chain of command probably mitigated the first rule of French warfare -- so eloquently presented above -- allowing tactical victories that their French superiors could then characteristically convert to strategic losses.
As an aside, Legionnaires could not step foot in France, at least not until there was nowhere else the French controlled where they could step... wouldn't want to risk a fight with the French regulars you know. But how the French can cook!

. . . and yet, when you consider that an NPR show like Prairie Home Companion last week did their "Joke" show, complete with light bulb, blonde, bar and "Lars & Ole" bits, can a bit of Franco-fun be wrong?
ex. A baby seal walks into a bar. Bartender says "What'll you have?" Baby Seal looks up with those big round eyes . . "Anything but a Canadian Club!" A blonde walking down the street sees a banana peel lying in her path. She says "Oh, here we go again!" The manager of an HMO arrives at the pearly gates. St. Peter looks down on the executive and says, "You can come in for 4 days, then you can go to hell!" Last edited by MTI; 02-03-2003 at 08:35 PM. |

Leathermang- I asked that because you threatened to make me a moderator
Snibble- the forum gets messed up when people loose perspective of things- like this is supposed to be fun. Seriously- this thing with France is getting out of hand. I work with a French guy; a supernice man with a nice family. Today he painted a Swiss flag and put it in his cubicle because he had enough of comments re: "France vs US." I felt terrible because I sent him a post regarding something like that just this morning. When I talked to him to make sure he knew it was just in good fun, he replied: " oh well, it's just one of many." Ok, I still feel terrible Anybody wanna tell me a Polish joke?? I give as good as I take! I even have an American joke! really funny, too

I am Polish
And can take polish jokes...here's one
A Polish man, a Chinaman, and a Scotsman are all working on a skyscraper. The Scotsmen opens his lunch and says "If I get haggis again, I am thrwoing my lunch of this skyscraper." The Chinamen opens his lunch and says "If I get noodles again I am going to throw my lunch off the skyscraper." The Polish man opens his lunch and says "If I get Kielbalsa tommorow I will throw my lunch off the skyscraper." Tommorow comes The Scotsman gets haggis, and throws his lunch of the skyscraper. The Chinaman opens his lunch, its noodles, and he throws his lunch off the skyscraper. The Polish man throws his lunch of the skyscraper immediately. Both the Scotsman and the Chinamen both say "You didn't even open up your lunchbox to see what it was" "I pack my own lunch." said the Polish man. |
