Then by way of retaliation a bunch of the Euros started chatting about the Tour de France. Most of the Americans had no clue about it but a few of us knew a little.
Three or four of us private messaged each other to see if we could have some fun with the situation.
American 1: Tour de France what is that? Some sort of Vacation Holiday Package?
American 2: No its some sort of train trip to see pasty white Europeans laying around on France's dirty Beaches.
Angry Frenchman: No you American twit it is a bicycle race. Typical you know nothing of what is going on outside your little redneck American World.
American 3: Oh Yeah I remember now.
American 1: Yeah, its where all the cyclists from Europe Compete in a big long Bike Race.
American 2: Yeah they compete to see who gets to finish in 2nd Place behind Lance Armstrong.
Needless to say afterwords there was much profanity and flame wars on the chat channel for the duration of the Tour.
hehehehe
Hah hah hah, that’s hilarious!
Thanks for the story...
