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

Just because you think something is so, does not make it so.

Apparently you have a problem with that distinction.

It's not about France -- it's about your adamant refusal to see that
you reasoning is flawed.

No, Dan -- it's about your inability to follow a thread. My reasoning
hasn't even started to come into play here -- all I've been doing is
reporting my observations of French jokes in America.

You can deny anything you want -- but your denials don't make the truth of
the matter any less obvious, or any less true. And the truth is, the
French are the butt of many jokes in America -- period. Anything else you
want to read into this phenomenon is *your* personal interpretation, not
mine -- but denying the phenomenon is just stupid.

And that's your problem. I'll say it one more time then I'm done
trying to explain this basic logic to you -- just because YOU think
"Americans joke about" the French and those jokes are true while other
stereotype jokes are untrue is simply unreasonable.

WTF? How did you get THAT out of anything I've said? I was simply
pointing out the dichotomy between types of ethnic jokes -- but I guess that
was a bit too subtle for you. Pity.

Oh, well. It's been a fun topic, anyway.

To Jay:
I'm done.

To anyone with sense:
Am I crazy or is this paperboy just supremely dense?

OK, cause he accused me of lack of subtlety, and I really, really hate
that.

He wouldn't know subtlety if it kicked him in the nuts.
