One of my buds sent me an email containing a long listing of hilarious French jokes. I would like to post it, but I can’t find the source of the pics. However, while reading the LA Times this morning I came across this little ditty:

From Times Wire Reports

French police ended their practice of hiding plastic explosives in air passengers’ luggage to train bomb-sniffing dogs after one such bag got lost, possibly ending up on a flight out of Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport.

The luggage that police used Friday for the exercise has not turned up. Three flights that arrived in Los Angeles and New York were searched, but the luggage in question was not found.

No passenger has contacted French authorities to report discovering a bag with nearly 5 ounces of explosives tucked into it. (em mine) Police said there was no chance the explosives could go off since they were not connected to detonators.

French jokes? Reality in France is a joke! Is it any wonder why Inspector Clouseau was French? But anyway, here are a few quotes about the French, just for a some giggles before we get back to the hard stuff!

“France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes.”–Mark Twain

“I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.”– General George S. Patton

“Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion.”–Norman Schwartzkopf

“As far as I’m concerned, war always means failure”–Jacques Chirac, President of France

“As far as France is concerned, you’re right.”–Rush Limbaugh

“You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn’t have the face for it.”–John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona

“The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq,” — Dennis Miller
