For the record, French Fries were invented in Belgium. Now it is true that the Belgians speak French (some of them, anyway), but it's probably more likely that the Belgians hate the French because the French took credit for one of their two inventions (the other being the waffle).

The Frogs are very good at waffling. The only time they don't waffle is if the question is, do we surrender?

The French don't know what a smoking gun is. The only time they ever see one is if it happened to be loaded when they drop it.
