Frenchies part Deux


After showing my roommate my last post about the inteligence of the French, my roommate Dan, gave me a quote of a fellow American who has the same sentiment as I do about our French comrades.

In Paris they simply stared when I spoke to them in french, I never did succeed in making those idiots understand their language.
-Mark Twain

If anyone else has come across any other quotes I would love to hear them!

At the unveiling of the new Airbus A380 in 2004, President Chirac startled the press by claiming that an obscure Frenchman, Clément Ader, invented powered flight.

Another good one from Mark Twain:

France has neither winter nor summer nor morals—apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country.
