   The Top 8 Reasons the Klingon Language Is Better Than French


 8> French may be the language for romance, but chicks really dig
    the he-man who can master Kli-- hee-heeee... who can *sneee!*...
    wait a minute, I *can* get through this with a straight face!

 7> The French Language Institute rejects loan words from other
    languages. The Klingon Language Institute claims useful words
    in the name of the Empire.

 6> Klingon love poetry leads to the same thing as French love
    poetry, except harder and faster, and with more screaming.

 5> The Klingon language has no "accent circonflexe."

 4> When describing Jerry Lewis, the French use a word that
    roughly translates to "genius." The same word translated into
    Klingon and then back to English means "delicious."

 3> They don't use it much, but at least the Klingon language
    *has* a word for hygiene.

 2> One is spoken by a bunch of arrogant, pathetic losers who
    like to pretend they have a mighty military tradition, the
    other is from a TV show.


         and the Number 1 Reason the Klingon Language
                     Is Better Than French...


 1> The Klingon language doesn't sugarcoat food names -- if it's
    the rotting liver of a cholesterol-challenged duck, that's
    what we call it.
