Slightly irrelevant, but a few years ago, in France, I was hanging out with some French guys in a bar. Everyone was speaking English, on the assumption that I couldn't speak French. When the waiter arrived, I gave my order in French. Everyone's jaw dropped, and there was a stunned silence. Finally a French guy said, "It's as if a monkey suddenly spoke!"

I laughed along with the rest, which proves two things...

1) You can't insult a Canuck, our egos are far too secure.

2) It's hard to take insults from Frenchmen seriously, since they're so consistently rude it becomes meaningless.
