    Why do they have so many letters in their language if they are only going to pronounce them occassionally?

    Why do I need a freaking degree in Oenology to know what kinds of grapes are in all their wines?

    Because of their delicious food, literature, art, kissing style, and onion dip. . .wait, am I doing this wrong?  [But, seriously, I really do hate France, mainly because a real life Henri from Cheers actually did manage to steal a girlfriend of mine.]

    Because they insulted King Arthur and farted in his general direction upon his quest for the Holy Grail.

    And then there's the Dreyfus affair.

    according to the telegraph, 25% of french women do not change their underwear daily, compared with 40% of men.  That means there will be three players on the pitch today who will be wearing what they wore yesterday.  it's science.

    Umm, failed to protect their jews from the Nazis.  Failed to really participate in Nato (for god's sake they adopted a different size of ammunition).  Still believe themselves to be a world power, or an empire.  Rude to Americans despite owing their very existence to our men and material.  Next World War I say ignore them.

    Must say this joke I heard on West Wing this morning (told deadpan by Margaret to Leo):

    Why do the French eat just one egg for breakfast?

    Because in France, one egg is an oeuf.


    Also:  general snottiness to tourists.

    Indirectly: when I saw this post this morning, the first thing that popped into my head as this song and it's been stuck in my head ever since:

    I know they're Belgian, but since this port made me think of it, I'm blaming the French.
