Subject: RE: BS: What have the French ever done for us ?
LOL! My witty asides bear fruit...
Well...they have given us l'amour! L'amour fantastique!!! Yeah, BABY!!!
They have given us torch singers and cabarets and the Left Bank.
Cyrano De Bergerac and the Three Musketeers! Joan of Arc!
Marvelous disparaging phrases like "perfide Albion!"
Frilly underwear of a most risque sort.
Really dry wine.
An alternative to the bloody boring tedious English stiff upper lip...
A decisive American victory at the Battle of Yorktown.
The Marquis de Lafayette.
And Lepus Rex.
Man, talk about a gifted nation! Vive la France!!!
