If you answered "yes" to one question, you are possibly French.
If you answered "yes" to two questions, you are probably French.
If you answered "yes" to three questions or more, you are almost certainly French.

SHEW! Thank God. I think I'm safe.

I remember, as a wine maker, some years back the French wineries were very much irritated and protested the fact that a small independent US winery won as the best wine over the French wines. "Nothing beats a French wine" they said. Freakin' arrogant...

Speaking of wine how about some cheese? By the way, Ireland has the best cheese; The Dubliner. For those of you who like sheep's cheese. French
