OK, Karl. I'm going to give the French their due in respect to culture, in this post. I would argue that the Romans gave us more. I mean we did pattern our gov. & legal system after theirs, no? (Although I question the wisdom of having Senators, sometimes...;^)
But you French have definitly contributed to culture; French kissing comes to mind...
And hey, my favorite musical is Les Mis`erables...you should try casting as Inspector Javier, I think you'd be very good. You know, he was very series, very series, and very dogmatic...hmmm.
You French have the best Merlot; our American Merlots often have a grassy taste, for some reason.
And as for your cuisine, your French fries, toast, and dressing are the best in the world!!! No es cargot, thanks...
Well, off to work,
Sign me: Square-headed Norwegian, and nasty ignorant french basher. ;^D
PS. In spite of all their culture, Frogs just love Jerry Lewis...now something just ain't right there...
