  • Enjoying France

    "France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes."---Mark Twain.

    "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." -- General George S.Patton.

    "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion." -- Norman Schwartzkopf.

    "As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure." -- Jacques Chirac, President of France "

    France wants us to go to war only when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." -- Regis Philbin.

    "The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whisky I don't know." -- P. J. O'Rourke (1989).

    "You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." -- John McCain, U.S. Senator

    "You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French,people." -- Conan O'Brien

    "I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get Hitler out of France either" -- Jay Leno.

    "The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag." -- Letterman

    "Only thing worse than a Frenchman is a Frenchman who lives in Canada." -- Ted Nugent.

    "War without France would be like ... uh ... World War II."

    "The favorite bumper sticker in Washington D.C. right now is one that says 'First Iraq, then France." -- Tom Brokaw.

    "What do you expect from a culture and a nation that exerted more of its national will fighting against Disney World and Big Macs than the Nazis?" -- Dennis Miller.

    "It is important to remember that the French have always been there when they needed us." -- Alan Kent

    "They've taken their own precautions against al-Qa'ida. To prepare for an attack, each Frenchman is urged to keep duct tape, a white flag, and a three-day supply of mistresses in the house." -- Argus Hamilton

    "Somebody was telling me about the French Army rifle that was being advertised on eBay the other day -- the description was, 'Never shot. Dropped once'." -- Rep. Roy Blount (MO)

    "The French will only agree to go to war when we've proven we've found truffles in Iraq." -- Dennis Miller

    Q. What did the mayor of Paris say to the German Army as they entered the city in WWII?

    A. Table for 100,000, monsieur?

    "Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris? It's not known, it's never been tried." -- Rep. Roy Blount (MO)

    "Do you know it only took Germany three days to conquer France in WWII? And that's because it was raining." -- John Xereas, Manager, DC Improv.

    The AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced after the London bombings that it has raised its terror alert level from 'Run' to 'Hide'. The only two higher levels in France are 'Surrender' and 'Collaborate'. The rise in the alert level was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.

    French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney - (AP), Paris, March 5, 2003 The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris, caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a group of Czech tourists. -- Jean B.

            What a shame they dont put as much effort into helping their allies as they did their stunning architecture!
            Paris is a beautiful city, unlike the people who live in it!

              I did, if you can call it that.

              But it was a little one-sided really, there was only five of them and they only had handguns.

              Of course, I still feel ashamed to this day....I should have evened it out by waiting until there was at least ten of them....

                  The French probably invented the very notion of discretion. It’s not that they feel that what you don’t know won’t hurt you; they feel that what you don’t know won’t hurt them. To the French lying is simply talking. Fran Lebowitz
