This is a riot - American vs Frenchman:

An American is having breakfast in Paris one morning (coffee,
croissants, bread, butter and jam) when a Frenchman, chewing bubble-gum,
sits down next to him. The American ignores the Frenchman who, nevertheless,
starts a conversation.
     
     Frenchman: 'You American folk eat the whole bread?'
     
     American (in a bad mood): 'Of course.'
     
     Frenchman: (after blowing a huge bubble) 'We don't. In France, we
only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it,
transform them into croissants and sell them to the states.' The Frenchman
has a smirk on his face.
     
     The American listens in silence.
     
     The Frenchman persists: 'Do you eat jelly with the bread?'
     
     American: 'Of Course.'
     
     Frenchman: (cracking his bubble-gum between his teeth and
chuckling).
     
     'We don't. In France we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put
all the peels, seeds, and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform
them into jam, and sell the jam to the states.'
     
     After a moment of silence, The American then asks: 'Do you have sex
in France?'
     
     Frenchman: 'Why of course we do', he says with a big smirk.
     
     American: 'And what do you do with the condoms once you've used
them?'
     
     Frenchman: 'We throw them away, of course.'
     
     American: 'We don't. In America, we put them in a container,
recycle them, melt them down into bubble-gum, and sell them to France .'

We just have a nice cup of coffee... Tea time is for the British... Who second the French in superiority LOL.

Chantal went away for the weekend. Too Zeeland in Holland. We went to see the Deltaworks... Very impressive!

My dad says the same thing. He also told me once: "Son, if you look throughout history, the English only come off their island to pick a fight". This was after a football (or soccer for you boys) game between an english and a dutch team in Holland and the supporters rioted after the game... LOL

Frank Zappa did a song called "Down in France". Kristof, you'd probably find it pretty funny.

You're right... We must be softies, as we do not have a national rugby team... At least not as far as I know. France has a pretty good team tho...
We like to pick on you British as much as you chaps like to call us "bloody foreigners" when we visit

Just Googled and YouTubed that song... Way too funny!!
Thanks for the tip Bruce!

From his song:
"An' when you go ka-ka
They make you stand up
Down In France
Way down in France"

Absolutely true! Ever seen a French toilet...? When we go on field training exercices in France, that's what we have to do with in their barracks... Yak!!

I hear the Belgium woman's soccer teams coach put them all on performance enhancing drugs, one of the girl's was having a problem and reported to the coaches office and let the coach know that she was starting to grow hair on her chest possibly from the drugs, The coach with a worried look in his eyes asked the girl well how far does it go? she looked at him and said down to my nuts

Yep. We are a rugby and cricket mad nation. Keep an eye on the Blue Bulls in the Super 14. They are playing a solid game. I also can't wait for the tri nations series. It's going to be a cracker between the boks and the all blacks this year. Watch Brian Habana and Pierre Spies this year.

I must say that Northern hemisphere rugby is quite a force to be reckoned with in the last 10 years.
