All future bottles of bubbles will come from the Golden State of CA and vodka from Poland (Chopin).

The best bubbly made is Italian prosecco. You can get yourself into a very nice bottle for about $15-20. The closest comparable stuff from other places is in the stratosphere pricewise. I collect very fine wines from all around the world, but the French have nothing on the Italians when it comes to bubbly, and nobody comes remotely close to the quality for the price.

Everytime I go shopping where they sell wine, I always leave a little card or note, stuck in by the frog wine which says "BOYCOTT FRENCH PRODUCTS, THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE DEAD FROM 9-11".

If you've got a computer and a printer, have at it. It's fun and you feel great everytime you do it. Screw the frogs. I hope their economy reels into depression.

Looks like the French are going to have to start drinking more wine ... or maybe their buddies the Russians might be interested.

Amen brother. I'm totally down with this boycott. I had one bottle of french whine in my bar. I took out in the field and filled it full of 9mm. I felt much better.

I actually enjoy shopping now. Belgian chocolates, frog whine, belgian beer, anyone who deserves to be boycotted gets a card or slip of paper.

The train was very crowded, so the soldier walked the length of the train, looking for an empty seat. The only unoccupied seat was directly adjacent to a well dressed middle aged lady and was being used by her little dog.

The war weary soldier asked, "Please, ma'am, may I sit in that seat?" The French woman looked down her nose at the soldier, sniffed and said, "You Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my Little Fife is using that seat?"

The soldier walked away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train, found himself again facing the woman with the dog.

Again he asked, "Please, lady. May I sit there? I'm very tired." The French woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant. Imagine!"

The soldier didn't say anything else; he leaned over, picked up the little dog, tossed it out the window of the train and sat down in the empty seat. The woman shrieked and railed, and demanded that someone defend her and chastise the soldier.

An English gentleman sitting across the aisle spoke up, "You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window.
