RAH TEAM! NO MORE FRANCE!

My wife and I spent got back from a month in Europe a few weeks ago. Before we started planning it, there were 2 rules we agreed to:
1. We would not set foot on French soil.
2. We would take no flights that landed in France since then the French airport gets landing fees.

The frogs have f**ked us long enough. This is where it stops.

That "the French helped us in the Revolutionary War" bit? OF COURSE THEY DID! THEY WERE AT WAR WITH BRITAIN THEMSELVES AT THE TIME! This was just good power politics.

And as someone commented, the French did a bit of sailing while Americans did the tough part- -the actual fighting and dying. Sound familiar?
