France Jokes

[cromagnon]

Sorry if this is off-topic for this forum, but I really couldn't resist. Along the lines of today's News post (http://www.reallifecomics.com/d/20021118.html ), I wanted to see if there were other jokes about France out there.

I'll start off on one that was more in mode at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall...

West Germany and East Germany have finally decided upon a capital...
What city?
Paris!

May I suggest posting this in either the Off Topic or Humour and Jokes Forums? I don't forsee it lasting long here. Also, you might want to find jokes that don't specifically bash other people/countries/races/etc...

Awfully sorry. I didn't scroll down all the way to the bottom of the forums list. You are correct.

Thunderfall, if you wouldn't mind moving/closing this thread, I'd appreciate it.

Why are the streets of Paris lined with so many trees?

Because the Germans like to march in the shade

merde! I was going to kill this thread untill I saw in the log that Thuderfall had moved and opened it.

You lot disgust me. I would never sully my repuation by making fun of the French. They have enough problems as it is. The last thing they need is people like you pointing out all the failures, the many failures, of their country. You ought to be ashamed of yourself and you think about what you have done. Sure we could all make jokes about the French cowardly surrender in WWII and we could all make fun of their seemingly inability to use soap and other cleaning products. But is that really funny? I, for one, think not and so never has and never will make fun of the French.

You're right. Besides, French military history is filled with great successes, the last of which occurred during the Napoleonic era. So let's not make fun of them.

This is like when it is April fools and you play a practical joke on someone and they don't realise it is a joke. Then you have to decide whether to tell them or not. It truly is one of the universe's toughest questions, to tell or not to tell. Like whether you should get up and go to the toilet or remain in your warm cozy bed. We will probably never get the answers to these questions so we will just have to make our own way. My chosen way is to tell them in a meandering manner. I don't know if it worked.

That guy must be one of the biggest fools in the world. Everyone knows that the wheel was invented in the 1st century. People are such idiots.

Yeah, very strange. After all it is the English who are better than everyone else.

Well if he thinks someone with the Roman name of Crushus Wheelus could've lived in our century I guess he really isn't that smart
