Another France insult (at the end of this story) :

I recently learned that my dad studied French when he was a young guy.

He was trained as a chemical engineer. He was telling his story (as to why it was considered reasonable to require an engineering student to study French then).

He said something like : "Back then ..."

I asked if I could please interrupt (to make a joke).

I said : "Back then, when France used to be a real country ..."

Jon.

P.S. My brother added : "Back then, when France still believed it was a real country ..."
