    Always laugh when you can. It is cheapest medicine.

    You should get yourself to France and do some fieldwork check it out.

    There are two great kendo seminars the July 9-30 seminar at l'Ille

    Missed something

    He forgot about the peage (toll roads) in France where you can floor your car/motorbike overtake the police cars and nobody bothers!
    Where cars go to the right if they see you coming with your motorbike on secondary roads to let you pass.
    They got their priorities in order I would say.

    Great video.

    The only thing he forgot to mention was that the French DO have THE best national anthem in the world.

    He missed an important point, they don't smell as bad as the english.
    You must be one of those Americans who thinks Europe is a country near El Salvador. Of course they smell worse than us - they eat Garlic by the truck load. Probably why they never have heart disease and live till their mid two hundreds.


    Thing I never understood is - if the US hates France so much we do you name food after them ....French Fries.

    What's a little stink compared to a 200-year life expecancy? And French Fries is a much better name than Freedom Fries...

    You have apparently confused the French with the Koreans who also smell better than the english.

    We only smell bad when we are in a foreign country fighting alongside a nation who say things like "awesome" a lot when referring to the power to kill lots of civilians.

    The smell is a natural reaction to not knowing when your allies are likely to shoot at you. Is that the smell you refer to?

    No. It is the smell of deep fried dogfish and soggy fries coupled with standing in queues and a lack of bathing.
