The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its
terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in
France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate." The rise was precipitated by
a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively
paralysing the country's military capability.


This was taken from a much longer note that mentioned the Brit level
had gone from Annoyed to Peeved.


You laugh, bnut the French have one of the world's most sophisticated
military industrial complexes. The US is proude of their Stealth Bomber,
but the French have an entire Stealth Army!! No matter what is happening
on the world scene they are completely invisible!!


Besides, if it weren't for the French we wouldn't
have cute words like fuselage, aileron, pitot, nacelle
or *cough* monocoque.- Hide quoted text -

yeh but according to G.Dubbya the French dont even have a word for
entrepreneur.
