Ok people, now that things have settled, we need to recognize. The French are not really that bad. They have done some amazing things for the world. Where would we be without them? Some of the contributions they have given us:<br />French fries<br />French toast<br />The French kiss<br />French tickler<br />French cut green beans (can live without these)<br />French braiding<br />French manicure<br />French vanilla<br />French bread<br />French poodles<br /><br />So next time we think poorly of the French, we need to stop and think....where would we be without French Toast?

Re: The French....There not all that bad!

Another piece of trivia:<br /><br />There was one French victory over the British in<br />the 18th century.<br /><br />In it, a British officer was captured and <br />interrogated.<br /><br />At the end of the interrogation, the French <br />general asked,<br /><br />"Why do you British officers wear red coats? Don't<br /> you know that makes you easier targets for our <br />infantry?"<br /><br /><br />The British officer replied stoically,<br />"Yes, but if we are hit our men won't panic when <br />we bleed."<br /><br /><br />And that is why ever since then that French <br />officers wear brown pants. :D

French knock-knock joke...<br /><br />Knock, knock<br />Who's there?<br />I give up<br /><br /><br />Do you know why the French gave us the Statue of Liberty?<br /><br />It had no use in France, she only has one arm in the air.
