I thought they "Mashed" them with "Bangers"!

.....The French are revolting.....

Strictly speaking, the government is revolting by proposing change. The French populationshas gone to the streets to prevent the revolutionary change.

I really wonder of Mr. Esse wasn't pulling the correspondents leg. His remarks sound like a Monty Python script. The sheer absurdity of what he is saying sounds like satire. If it's not people are even crazier than I thought. But then Us schools are now banning camouflage pants less they offend illegal immigrants as such items are a symbol of (shudder) 'patriotism'.

I can just imagine.I leave a French restaurant,overpriced,the service is lousy,and full of frog legs,caviar.and snails with a fancy name.I walk out into a throng of 3 million.and then it hits you.You get the sudden urge to use the bathroom.[not #1 but #2]What would you do?But,like you said,when in Rome,etc.Yec!

The only alternative is to buy Depends.

[xarmydog]

Great thought!But it would 'depend'on what brand to use.I would go for the french ones as they start at an earlier age,therefore,they have the design down pat!

[ZULU]

The French just can't address their minority problems.

Gloat, gloat.

See what happens when you try to "compromise". there's a
lesson for us here with reference to dealing with illegal
border crossers.

"France has nuclear weapons. Forget about what happened to the ones missing in the Ukraine. Start worrying about what will happen to the ones left in France when the Muslims take over!"

Didn't the propeller fall off of their sole aircraft carrier or something like that...last year. If that's any clue as to how their nukes work...it's all the better.

Their self immolation will be something I wouldn't want to miss.
