Little french runabout
Nice one Dave, that had me chortling. But I laughed out loud (not good when you are supposed to be working) reading the historical summary, and fell off my chair at this:

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage."



1978 Pageant Sprint - the rustomite, 1972 Spitfire IV - sprintfire project, 1968 Valencia GT6 II - little Blue, 1980 Vermillion 1500HL - resting. 1974 Sienna 1500TC, Mrs Weevils big brown.
Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.

Reminds me of these:
Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?
A: Nobody knows, it's never been tried.
Q. Why don't they have fireworks at Euro Disney?
A. Because every time they shoot them off, the French try to surrender.
Q. Why did the French plant trees along the Champs Elysees?
A. So the Germans could march in the shade.
Q: How many gears does a French tank have?
A: 6. 5 reverse and 1 forward.
Q. What's the difference between Frenchmen and toast?
A. You can make soldiers out of toast.
Q. What do you call 100,000 Frenchmen with their hands up?
A. The Army.
Anyone see the French Military Rifle on eBay? It's never been shot and only dropped once!
All jokes, of course!

Yup
Theres a good many ex Royal Navy out there who must be eternally grateful that it was the French that sold the argies their exocets.
