France has a population of 54 million people, most of whom drink and smoke a great deal, drive like lunatics, are dangerously oversexed, and have no concept of standing patiently in line. The French people are in general gloomy, temperamental, proud, arrogant, aloof, and undisciplined; and those are their good points. Most French citizens are Roman Catholic, though you would hardly guess it from their behavior. Many people are communists, and topless sunbathing is common. Men sometimes have girls' names like Marie, and they kiss each other when they hand out medals. American travellers are advised to travel in groups and to wear baseball caps and colourful trousers for easier mutual recognition.
In general, France is a safe destination, though travelers are advised that, from time to time, it is invaded by Germany. By tradition, the French surrender more or less at once and, apart from a temporary shortage of Scotch whisky and increased difficulty in getting baseball scores and stock market prices, life for the visitor generally goes on much as before. A tunnel connecting France to Britain beneath the English Channel has been opened in recent years to make it easier for the Government to flee to London.

Thanks!
Hey, I just heard a blip from Tony Blair's speech...from yesterday I'm sure. I hope I got this right. I'm pretty sure.
He commented about the anti-Iraq protests, for people to keep one thing in mind. When they look at a crowd of protestors, whether it's 100, 1,000, 100,000 or even 1,000,000 - remember that it is LESS than the number of people that Saddam has murdered !
Now THERE's something to think about when looking at these idiots !

Sam, I'm still laughing so hard that I think my wife is worried about my mental condition. Great post.
