I ran like a Frenchman from a cap gun.

In Paris once I saw a very, very stylishly dressed couple (I would guess his suit was worth $1000) park their Jaguar and get out onto the sidewalk. As they walked by the smell reminded me of my golden retriever

The french have NO charm. They have pheremones. After a while... those don't fog the eyes.

My step-pop is a frenchman. We don't get along so well. He argues both sides. His mind is so open, his brain falls out. We continue to argue, but I'm going to quit, because... if you argue with an idiot... who will know the difference?

Thanks - it's been around for a while (not my design), but it's still true.

Heard this on Jeopardy. Napoleon once wrote to tell Josephine that he would be returning home in two days and instructed her "Do not bathe." The French must like that aroma.
