TokyoT Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris? A: Nobody knows because it’s never been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimmel Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 "You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." —John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." —General George S. Patton "The last time the French asked for 'more proof,' it came marching into Paris under a German flag." —David Letterman "After an exhaustive investigation, the Defense Minister of France said today that Osama bin Laden is either still in hiding in Afghanistan, he may have escaped to Pakistan, or he may be dead. Hey, France, thanks a lot. We'll take it from here. Hard to believe they were invaded twice." —Jay Leno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshman Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I don't want to appear insensitive, but here in UK today we are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar. I believe it was there that Nelson and the Royal Navy kicked seven bells of sh*t out of the French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alvino Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 AN AMERICAN tourist in London decides to skip his tour group and explore the city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, and occasionally stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the lads, and have a pint of Guinness. After a while, he finds himself in a very high-class area...big, stately residences... no pubs, no shops, no restaurants, and worst of all... NO PUBLIC TOILETS. He really, really has to go, after all those pints of Guinness. He finds a narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings and decides to use the wall to solve his problem. As he is unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobbie, who says, "I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know." "I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but! t I really, really HAVE TO GO, and I just can't find a public toilet." "Ah, yes," said the Bobbie, "Just follow me". He leads him to a back "delivery alley", then along a wall to a gate, which he opens. "In there," points the Bobbie. "Whiz away SIR, anywhere you want." The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has ever seen. Manicured grass lawns, statuary, fountains, sculptured hedges and huge beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom. Since he has the cop's blessing, he unburdens himself and is greatly relieved. As he goes back through the gate, he says to the Bobbie "That was really decent of you... is that what you call "British Hospitality?" "No sir", replied the Bobbie, "that is what we call the French Embassy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshman Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 It seems that the French have not taken too kindly to London beating Paris for the Olympics. The day following the announcements, many French newspapers carried articles complaining that London had 'cheated'. Hmm, takes one to know one?

alvino Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 TERROR ALERT IN FRANCE Paris, July 15, 2005- AP and UPI reported that the French government has raised its terror alert level from RUN to HIDE on their four level danger scale. The two higher French danger levels are COLLABORATE and SURRENDER. According to informed sources, the rise was precipitated by a suspicious fire yesterday which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing its military. In light of the recent attacks in London, it is widely anticipated that the terror alert will be elevated to the third level before the weekend.

Egor Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 As a few others have already said what a great thread... I just can't believe there are not any Frenchies on TV to defend themselves and their country. .. But as I think more I guess that is what this is thread is all about.
