 CH> ((Watching the Grand Bike Tour) Hey look they've got roads in France!

That does seem to be the U.S. activity-of-the-year this year -- picking
on the French. . .


A friend of mine is an officer in the navel reserve.  A few weeks ago
he was attending a conference that included admirals in both the US
and French navies.  At a cocktail reception, my friend found himself
in a small group that included admirals from both navies.  The French
admiral started complaining that whereas Europeans learned many
languages, Americans only learned English.  He then asked, "Why is it
that we have to speak English in these conferences rather than you
have to speak French?"

Without even hesitating, the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it is
because we Americans arranged it so that you did not have to learn to
speak German."

The group became silent.

March 12, 2003. Dateline: Paris



Today it was reported that severe earthquakes have occurred in 10
different locations in France.



The severity of each quake was measured in excess of 10 on the Richter
scale. The cause was determined to be the 56,681 dead American
soldiers buried in French soil rolling over in their graves.



According to the American Battle Monuments Commission there are
26,255
Yankee dead from World War I buried in 4 cemeteries in France. There
are 30,426 American dead from World War II buried in 6 cemeteries in
France. These 56,681 brave American heroes died in their youth to
liberate a country which is guilty of the most shameful, unspeakable
behavior in the 21st century.



May the United States of America never forget their sacrifice as we
find ways to forcefully deal with the Godforsaken, unappreciative,
forgetful country of France! Should France ever again need our help,
let's simply tell them to go do what they do best - surrender - on
their own without our assistance!
