Default Way off topic, but it has do to with the French

Pretty good! *But you forgot this one:

What does "IOWA" stand for?

Idiots
Out
Walking
Around


I didn't forget it. I just didn't think it was very funny.

You see, unlike the French (and several folks in this thread), I have
something called "a sense of humor". * I suggest you guys find one -- it
makes the world much more fun!

Besides, I'm not from Iowa...

Oh, so you are just joking when you say the French are arrogant,
irrelevant, etc. Is that the sense of humor we should adopt?

I like a good joke, and I found the original post pretty clever. But
I only take it as a joke, and I don't take the underlying stereotypes
seriously. Your posts attempt to show why the jokes and stereotypes
are actually justified. I didn't find the original joke offensive,
but your posts I definitely find offensive.
