Making out with French guys during your HS graduation trip to Cannes is definitely the way of the cougar.

My professor made a funny about the French yesterday. Said the only Naval battle they ever won was during the U.S. War for Independence, hee hee. It is a class about military history, so there will be more jokes about France for sure.

Question I always asked the new recruits that engaged in France-bashing:

"If the French military is so pathetic then why are the majority of military terms French?"

They still like to fight even though they don't always win? They have a lot of spirit? The terms sound better in French?

Perhaps it is due to Napoleon, I heard the main reason he was defeated at Waterloo was he was cocky and put out a book with all his tactics. He also had syphillis...

There's always the ever-favorite:

Why are the streets of Paris lined with trees?

So the Germans can march in the shade....

I have pictures of the Bastille...it's really not all that exciting.

But then again, after stopping at every Chateau, Cathedrial, Museum, and generally historic site, nothing like that is all that exciting anymore...it all starts looking the same!
