Actually that was Groundskeeper Willie not Bart.

LOL - I shouldn't be surprised. The Simpsons is such a clever series. Have you seen the episode where Lisa gets Springfied to outlaw guns? The guns are destroyed then the helpless town is terrorized by dead outlaws. Very funny, sadly true.

In which episode did Willie speak these imortal words?

Greetings Jaxter, FReepers, et al:
ROFL! Wonder what happens if you Google search: French treaties honored?

The French zoo had acquired a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks, the female gorilla became very cranky and difficult to handle. Upon examination, the zoo veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was in heat. To make matters worse, there were no male gorilla species available.

While reflecting on their problem, the zoo administrators noticed Pierre, an employee responsible for cleaning the animals' cages. Pierre, it was rumoured, had the ability to satisfy any female, but he wasn't very bright. So the zoo administrators thought they might have a solution.

Pierre was approached with a proposition: would he be willing to have sex with the gorilla for five hundred Francs? Pierre showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully.

The following day, Pierre announced that he would accept their offer, but only under three conditions. "First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her. Secondly, I want nothing to do with any offspring that may result from this union."

The zoo administration quickly agreed to these conditions, so they asked what about the third condition. "Well," said Pierre, "you've gotta give me another week to come up with the five hundred Francs."

Should we dig up the graves of American soldiers in Normandy, too, and take them home? No French answer was recorded.

Yes, before they become a Muslim majority nation. Look at what they've done to the 60' stone statues of Buddha, the Tomb of Joseph, Rachel's Tomb, The Temple Mount, various churches/synagogues/Hindu Temples, etc. Those graves will be defiled when they have the majority vote in France.

(and anything short of a declaration of war would be an insufficient response)

The only reason to leave our honorable war dead in that vile country (France) is to give them a visible symbol of what we've done for them.

Apparently they don't give a sh**. Let's start bringing our war dead home so that they can be honored as they are at Arlington.

If you have ever seen the changing of the guard at Arlington, you would understand.

I'd love to pull a Gen. Patton and slap the sh** out of a Frenchman right now. Cowards. It does pain me that I am of German descent right now though.

I haven't been chastised once, even after telling tough jokes zinging the French for their history of weakness, disloyalty, and fecklessness.

Jokes? I thought they were anecdotes.

Fred was tearing them a new one on Special Report tonight--PRICELESS!
