There's no national anthem in the world as ludicrous as France's:
>
> To arms, to arms, ye brave!
> The avenging sword unsheathe!
> March on, march on, all hearts resolved
> On liberty or death.
>
> Oh liberty can man resign thee,
> Once having felt thy gen'rous flame?
> Can dungeons, bolts, and bar confine thee?
> Or whips thy noble spirit tame?

> Let's not forget, also, that France didn't allow us to fly over their airspace when we bombed Libya. Of course, we then accidentally bombed their embassy. Touché.

> Interesting note: This may not have been a war, but we must note here that the French also dug about a mile's worth of the Panama Canal in a decade's time before going home because of the mosquitos. Who finished it? You got it!

Ever watch the show Unhappily Ever After? Nicki Cox said a memorable line that trashed Europe, mostly France.

"And their Armies suck too. One drunken Marine could take over Paris with an unsharpened pencil."
