Carl do it again and see that google suggests.

DID YOU MEAN french military defeats

I think that's what the humor is .

Thanks Gavin, I did see that, but I thought there was more to it than that. That IS funny, but (to me) it's not "fall off my chair funny" or all that "priceless".

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. :stupid:

A small Corsican gentleman by the name of Napoleon had quite a lot of success a little while ago, which these jokes of French military victories seem to forget.

He led the French army to many victories, and it took quite a while for the rest of Europe to get him under control.

Many of the streets and squares of Paris are named after Napoleonic victories...............

One of his big mistakes was to over-extend himself by pushing deep into Russia and stretching his lines of supply whilst the weather closed in on him, a mistake repeated by a certain Austrian with a distinctive moustache in the middle of the last century.

This could be a good lesson for any large country or coalition that thinks it can fight on several fronts at the same time, and still keep its lines of supply going.

Bravo, "Alain". I wish you had Mr. Rumsfeld's ear. (actually I wish you had his head...in a box....in the freezer.)

Don't you love the internet? Just think, there is a whole generation of people coming up who have been educated by the web and who believe--among other things--the French have never asserted themselves successfully.

That little tidbit came through during the recent dark ages here in the US, when mailboxes everywhere were clogged with seemingly well-meaning anti-French humour. I knew it would get some smiles and THANK GOD those days are basically over. Just down the street, a small gift store had to change it's name from 'La Petite Chateau' to 'Stephanie's' because of threats. So even the cesspool of liberalism known as California was not exempt from these sentiments. And then yesterday......Oh my god how I love the 4th.....go find the biggest, jacked up 4X4 Chevy pickup and make sure the horn works well and strap the biggest american flag on it you can find and git yerself a couple 12ers of beer and a fat chick in a Harley tank top and let's whump some sissie arse. Oh and don't forget to burn something down. We're americans! We rule! no one can stop us! We're kicken arse all over this world. What's that? Someone else needs a lick'in? HERE WE COME!!!! Look out Mr. Taylor. We're gonna fix all the problems in your country and hand freedom back to your poor tired masses on a silver platter and they will be SOOOOO grateful and thank us and not cause any problems and everyone will live happily ever after.

Don't forget: Might makes Right!!!
