French Upgrade Terror Alert

In light of the Madrid bombing, France has raised its terror alert
level from 'run' to 'hide.'

The only two higher levels in France are 'surrender' and 'collaborate.'


Oh well, made I snigger briefly.
No googlegroups means it could well be a ginge too.

I have on my desk a "let's make fun of the French" calendar, which
consists of largely such silly quotes. The only reason I keep it is
because it demonstrates how fucking stupid the septics are.

What surprises me is the number of UK-ites who're quite prepared to
repeat such shite - I just hope they realise the irony of it.

Speaking of which - this just in from a septic colleague:

An American tourist in London decides to skip his tour group and explore
the city on his own.

He wanders around, seeing the sights, and occasionally stopping at a
quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the lads, and have a
pint.

After awhile, he finds himself in a very high class neighborhood....big,
stately residences... no pubs, no stores, no restaurants, and worst of
all...NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS.

He really has to go after all that Guinness. He finds a narrow side
street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings and decides
to use the wall to solve his problem.

As he is unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobbie, who
says, "I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know."

"I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really, really
HAVE TO GO, and I just can't find a public restroom."

"Ah, yes," said the Bobbie..."Just follow me". He leads him to a back
"delivery alley", then along a wall to a gate, which he opens.

"In there," points the Bobbie. "Whiz away,... anywhere you want."

The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has
ever seen : manicured grass lawns, statuary, fountains, sculptured
hedges, and huge beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom.

Since he has the cop's blessing, he zips down and unburdens himself and
is greatly relieved.

As he goes back through the gate, he says to the Bobbie "That was really
decent of you ... is that "British Hospitality ?"

"No" replied the Bobbie, with a satisfied smile on his face, "that is
the French Embassy."

 

Fair's fair, we've been taking the piss out of the Frenchies for yonks (and
they us).
I'm not sure whether or not the Yanks have though.

 

What, in the "cheese eating surrender monkeys" sense? I've only become
aware of that in the last eighteen months. It was always the Italians
who were the butt of such jokes before that, IME.

 

Heh, I told a couple of the lads here and they grinned. Just before
they chucked stuff at me.

There was a big uproar from the cunts in Washington DC when the French
wouldn't follow Bush/Blair into Iraq. Many places changed menus from
French Toast/Bread/whatever to Freedom Toast/Bread/whatever. This has
blown over and forgotten.

At the same time some of us went out of our way to patronize French
owned business to let them know not everyone felt they were wrong.

The only ones we pick on with any regularity are the Canadiens.
