A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle the French captured an English major. Taking the major to their headquarters, the French general began to question him. The French general asked, "Why do all English officers wear redcoats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?" In his bland English way, the major informed the general that the reason English officers wear redcoats is so that if they are shot, the blood won't show and the men they are leading won't panic. And that is why from that day to now all French Army officers wear brown pants. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, whoever humbles himself will be exalted - Matthew 23:12

There are some hilarious French jokes "Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!" "I stood in the courtroom like a fool." "I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."

It says in the description, "Never been used." DS I woke up this morning with nothing to do and went to bed with only half of it done. http://attacked911.tripod.com/ http://www.stjude.org/

But then your daughter would lose a father..instead of gaining a husband.

If that wimp Cornwallis hadn't given up the goat then us Brits would still own your American asses. But, since he did, we don't. Bugger. Joey ... BANG BANG ... Saza!
