French Facts
FUN FACTS ABOUT THE FRENCH

- A Frenchman will fight viciously and without regard to his own life if you stand between him and a white flag.

- Rumor has it that the French don't like bathing. This rumor comes from them smelling.

- To get with modern times, they've adopted a stance of preemptive surrender.

- During the cola wars, France was occupied by Pepsi for six months.

- They like to sell weapons to enemies of America. But come on, what kind of pansies use French weapons?

- The Eiffel Tower was constructed so that they would have something very tall to wave a white flag from in case of attack.

- In ancient times, primitive Frenchmen surrendered to thunderstorms.

- They actually have a military, though what purpose it serves is unknown.
