At least it's good to see that my posts are making it out!

The French, in the cities tend to be rude and arrogant -- kind of like
New York City but worse. In the smaller towns they are quite pleasant
and welcome tourists as long as they don't act like "rude Americans"
and expect "special treatment."

I personally had terrific interactions with people in France. However,
it is still a lot of fun to have jokes at their expense

My only time to be arrested in 68 years: Paris, early afternoon, public
park, sober, in USN uniform. Have all the fun you want with jokes at
their expense.

Eskimos have over 60 words for "ice." The French have about that many
for "surrender."

OK, I'm done.

Do you know why there are so many trees on the streets of Paris?
To give the Germans shade while they are marching.
