Heh, that's why I didn't say it. I guessed there'd be at least one French guy on the forum. It's a mildy amusing stereotype, as long as you don't take it to seriously, like the Scots being miserly, the English posh and Irish like me being lucky drunks. Also, for evidence that it's untrue, look at Napoleon.
