So I suggest to you,that never having even been to France, but sitting
there passing judgment from Iowa, that you are only seeing the French
equivelant of the asshole with the wife called Martha.

I find it hilarious that my single observation about the French -- their
dunderheadedness about taxing Avgas to $7.50 per gallon -- has been
embellished now to include things like Tony's statement, above.

After the tale has been re-told dozens of times, by variously inflamed and
downright apoplectic posters, I have now been accused of committing "racism"
on the entire "French race" and am now "passing judgment from Iowa" on an
entire nation, and a class of people, based solely upon my feeble
observations of the French behavior from the lobby of my hotel!

You guys kill me.

I made one statement, and it is verifiable as fact: The French are
dunderheaded for taxing their aviation fuel to the point where no one can
afford it.
