Exactly. *And it is precisely because the French have fallen so far that
they are now thought of so poorly.

Combine that with their inexplicable arrogance in the face of irrelevance,
and you have comic fodder.

I've also heard some pretty good Iowa jokes. Here's a sampling:

Q: What's considered a solid hour's reading in Iowa?

A: The back of a cereal box.


Did you hear that Ford is recalling all vehicles sold in Iowa? They
have to change the dimmer switch back to the floor like it used to be
due to all the Iowans losing control of their cars when their foot
gets caught in the steering wheel.


Q: Why do they bring a bag of manure to a wedding in Iowa?

A: It keeps the flies off the bride!

I'm not sure why people make fun of Iowa that way, but I am sure there
must be very good reasons Iowans deserve it. Just like with the
French!
