Note that in france we use to say "queer like a seal" but I don't
know if it's appropriate on a NG in majority American. :-)

Here in America we have a similar saying that has I believe
approximately the same meaning. When something is really ****ed up or
backwards or doesn't work as intended, or has no standards or
stability, we refer to it as being "French". I think it says it all.

a little joke to hold your shorts tight til you hear from me again...

CNN is reporting that Lance Armstrong may be stripped of his 6th Tour
de France title. In a random check for banned substances, three were
found in Armstrong's hotel room. The substances banned by the French
that were found in his hotel room were as follows:

(1) Toothpaste
(2) Deodorant
(3) Soap


The French officials also found several other items which they had
never seen before, including a testicle and a backbone. Earlier
reports that French Government officials attempted to surrender to
Armstrong as he entered Paris were apparently erroneous.


LOL!
