OK fellow Euro travelers, why don't Europeans provide small wash cloths in their hotel bathrooms?
Is it: a) Only Americans use them. b) Environmentally conscious - less laundry without them. c) Wash cloth? What's a wash cloth?. d) None of the above.
If d) supply your own conclusion.

I don't know about all Frogs, but I was working with one on a drilling rig in Africa, and that was the foulest smelling human being I have ever had the displeasure of being near.

Eau my! I think the French word for their odor is "decollatege." I think it is how they find their cars in parking lots since all the little Citroens and Renaults look the same.
parsy, the eurodite. (A word that means "smart", I think.)

A third spend time in the bathroom reading, while a quarter daydream,........... and one per cent eat. Eating in the bathroom? That is just wrong.

I don't believe that an average of 2,000 Frenchmen are on strike a day. To go on a strike you actually have to have a job and do some work every once in a while.

We travel frequently overseas on business. The lack of wash cloths not only all over Europe, but also in South America and Latin America, is my pet peeve. We now buy bundles of really cheap white washcloths at WalMart or Target and pack them when we travel. We leave the wet, soiled ones in our hotels when we leave. Maybe they will get a hint.

They must have a fear of water because they don't drink it, either!

We used to do business with a French company and we made several trips to France over the years. On one of the trips one of the Frenchmen asked us over to dinner at his apartment. While there I asked for the water closet. The lady of the house showed me to the bathroom and politely told me that in France it is very rude to ask to use the bathroom while you are in someones house. WHAT the frick am I supposed to do, go outside? I replied, or something similar, I don't really know what I said, I was just the dumb American. But I was shocked.

"This idea of the Frog who doesnt wash, has a baguette on his head and a string of onions around his neck is passe"
I think they mean beret on his head--cause the baguette probably would absorb some of the odor. Or wait maybe that's why he has the onions--to mask the smell.

They love that word "rude". Some people from Quebec were visiting French neighbors this past weekend. They let their dogs run wild, and when I caught them in my garden; that was it. I informed them that their dogs needed to be on a leash (NH state law), and if they couldn't keep their animals out of my plants, I would be calling the police. I was called "rude" and a "bad man". Screw France AND Quebec...arrogant SOB's.

The French word for odor is
odour.
Décolletage refers to cutting around the neck and has come to refer to a plunging neckline on a woman's dress and hence the showing of cleavage.
I much prefer the latter.
The signature block says it all.
Il n'y a pas d'honte être français. Il y a seulement l'honte dans rester de français.

I don't understand this. Taking a bath/shower is one of life's little pleasures. I would think the French would pursue such a thing.. :o)
