I've had several British cars. I've had one French car. None of them were worth a darn, although the British cars were cute.

I'll not be flying this aircraft, thanks very much. One Pugeot was more than enough for me to understand French engineering excellence.

If anyone challenges your opinion...just tell them to watch a documentary
on the whole history of building the Panama Canal!

That episode is enough explanation for why too many French had
lots of disdain for Americans.
Besides our saving their chestnuts in two World Wars.

The difference between Heaven and Hell:

IN HEAVEN:
The police are British, the cooks are French, the engineers are German, the lovers are Italian, and the managers are Swiss.

IN HELL:
The police are German, the cooks are British, the engineers are French, the lovers are Swiss, and the Italians are running the place.
