    The laughing smilie makes me assume there is some sort of attempt at humour in there, but I think your Germaness got the better of you.


    So France is kinda of useless?
    No. France is the Texas of Europe.

    It just sits there, right in the middle, being Big and Strong and letting the others worship us in jealous despair.

    I hadn't seen it before and found it quite hilarious!

    And I agree with Louis, France is so strong that we had an entire topic about it's army falling apart.

    Husar! D...did I just notice a faint glimmering of...of...of humorous wit in your post?

    Well done lad! I bet you are at least 50% non-German!

    German humour, far too base sophisticated for a Frenchman.

    Agreed! I found it pretty funny though, even if it might be old.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Anyhow, I believe this was posted by EMFM in the jokes thread in the frontroom a couple of months ago.

    Never seen it before, I thought it was hilarious.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
