That reminds me of a joke.

How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?
Nobody knows, it's never been tried.

Don't even get me started on French jokes. Gotta love a country who's most celebrated war hero was a woman from the 1400s, betrayed by her own countrymen.

Hey! Give them a break, they already assigned some of their most renowned philosphers to contemplate their cowardice...such brave thinkers.

Actually Green, their most famous war heroes have to include Napolean Bonaparte and Marquis de Lafayette.  Without the French, we would still be a British territory right now.  What a difference 200 years makes.

Green? I didn't say anything.

But you are right. Without Ben Franklin spending so much time in France during our revolution France would never have backed us on the seas. We needed the support of their armada to scare the Brits. It was pivotal to our success.

I was actually friend and coworker with a french man whom I called Picard. I used to tease him quite a bit but he never fought back; he did teach me a bunch of new jokes though.

His  name was Jean-Luc, hence the joke that he never understood. You would think Picard would be known worldwide but alas, no.

Did you ever get him to say "Engage!"?

We can't forget "Make it so, Number One." That's just as vital as "Engage!"

You all should go to google and type "French War Victories"  Then click the [I'm Feeling Lucky] button.  It's quite entertaining.
