How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris? Nobody knows, they've never done it. The French have just ordered a new national flag. It's a white cross on a white background. Why did the French plant trees on the Champs Elysées? So the Germans could march in the shade. Where do you find 60 million French jokes? In France. Define confusion: Father's Day in Paris. What do you call a Frenchman wearing sandals? Philippe Flop What is the first thing you are taught when joining the French army? To say "I surrender" in German. Why was Jesus not born in France? Because they couldn't find three wise men or a virgin. Jacques Chirac walked into a bar with a parrot on his head and the landlord said: "How did that happen?" The parrot said: "It all started as a little pimple on my ass." Why don't the French like the fireworks at Disneyland Paris? Because every time they go off 500,000 people run to surrender. In a rare show of bravery, a French soldier answered an order from his commanding officer and ran out on to the field of battle -- in the line of fire -- to retrieve a dispatch case from a dead soldier and dashed back to his HQ. The officer said: "I'm recommending you for a medal for risking your life to save the details of the locations of our secret warehouses." "Warehouses?" said the soldier. "Sacré bleu! I thought you said whorehouses." French tanks have 6 gears, 5 reverse and 1 forward in case the enemy gets behind them.
