The last time France wanted more evidence, it rolled right through France with a German flag." Dennis Miller: "The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq." Jay Leno: "I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!" Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.: "Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris? It's not known, it's never been tried." Blunt again: "Somebody was telling me about the French Army rifle that was being advertised on eBay the other day -- the description was: 'Never shot. Dropped once.'" Donald Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense: "Going to war without France is like going duck hunting without your accordion." John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona: "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." Conan O'Brien: "You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people." An old saying: Raise your right hand if you like the French.... Raise both hands if you are French ______________________________________________ Q: Why are there so many tree-lined boulevards in France? A: Germans like to march in the shade. ____________________________________________ Q: What did the mayor of Paris say to the German Army as they entered the city in WWII? A: "Table for 100,000 m'sieur?" I think we should tell the French that Jerry Lewis Supports the Bush position... That'll get their attention... : > Jim
