French jokes:

No surprise the French wouldn't help us get Sadaam out of Iraq - they won't help us get the Germans out of France.

Q: Why are the boulevards in Paris lined with trees?

A: The Germans like to march in the shade.

Still like their bikes though.

I am considering showing up in protest. This is not representative of the makeup of the population which fits the CR timeline. I may have to show up with a Rickert, Peugeot, Jackson, Witcomb and Hobbs, just to get better representation. I suggest others should show up and protest the Italian - American - Swiss hegemony.
