I just heard a French joke I thought I would pass along just because I think it is funny.
Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?
A: No one knows, it has never been tried.

Hey now, it's not their fault that the Maginot Line didn't work vs. the blitzkrieg....it was an unprecedented method of fighting they weren't expecting.

Yeah, cut'em some slack. Enough Frenchies died in the Great War. And there was that Napoleon guy and his army.

2 possibilities :
- unkillfile roark to see the meaning of this topic.
- just keeping on ignoring this stupid tard teenager crusader who pollutes a climbing site (do we climbers go talk of cracks, spits, cams, slacklines in a christian and army oriented forum? NO!).
So I'm still ignoring this guy.
sorry.
but as it seems to be allusive to the Maginot Line (a famous climbing route in verdon, too...), let's say something. This line of buried strongholds and lobbies was built after WW1 on the german-french border, not on the belgian-french one because of the oppsoition of neutral Belgium. And as you know, Germany forces invaded Belgium and Luxembourg before invading France on may 10th of 1940... So the story of the useless Maginot Line.

Thomas,
Don't worry. He's only 18 or 19. He doesn't know much yet.
It would be better if it were:
Whats the best place to hide your money ? A: under the soap of a frenchman.

Why did the French plant trees along the Champs Eleeses?
So the Germans could march in the shade.

No,no, mes amis! These jokes are not racist, because they denigrate against cultures, not race. At the very worst one could assert that these are in poor cultural taste, but not one has disparaged a particular race at the expense of another. But consider this:
Q: What is the difference between Heaven and Hell?
A: In Heaven, the English greet you at the gate, the Germans organize everything, the French do all the cooking, and the Italians provide the entertainment.
In Hell, the French greet you at the door, the Italians are in charge of organizing eveything, the English do the cooking, and the Germans provide the entertainment!

Don't know any French jokes. Lots of Belgian and Swedish jokes but no French ones. Does that make me a racist?

Yeah, shame on those who would spend the people's money on a huge and expensive defense network that is completely ineffective because it was designed to fight the LAST war. A system that is guaranteed to be useless from its very conception because it completely ignores the obvious ways around it and the new strategic situations the nation really needs to respond to.
What a bunch of morons! A treasonous waste of money on false guarantees of security! SHAME!
*cough* Missile Defense *cough*
