They only need to crisp the locust up, dip them in chocolate, let them cool, and eat them.

I'm going to inspect my French fries before I eat them from now on.

two weeks.

Joel 2:1-11 - Likening the pending invasion of Israel to a locust storm.

I believe the Assyrians, Chaldeans and Babylonians used the locust as an emblem of their armies.

How soon will France feel the invasion of the locust Arab armies?

The French will simply declare locusts a delicacy and eat their way out of the plague.

Sounds like God is upset with the French too.

IIRC, the next one is a plague of frogs...

"Locusts" is politically-correct for Muslims.

They are still in debate over the use of red or white wine with sautéed mushrooms, onions & imported locust.

He can't strike their firstborn because most of them don't make it to the birth in France.

They will say that the locust are honing in on them because they prefer their crops

Well of course-- we all know the French crops have far more nuanced and sophisticated flavor...
