I still think it is appropriate to salute the French.

Just when you hear something that you would like to believe in, snopes shuts you down (or you sober up). Life is so unfair.

Previous to this, I thought "pluck yew" was Chinese.

I LOVE Snopes! There's enough misinformation floating around out there!!!!

Besides, there's enough strange TRUE stuff to keep me busy!

Ya think????

Let's see here. I was born awhile back. Hmmm, maybe I'm just an urban legend. Are there any suburban legends? I'm bored.

Does a joke have to be real? Do we need to snopes everything?

a woman walks into the kitchen and sees her husband with a fly swatter,having any luck she says.Yep he replies killed 3 male flies and 2 females.she asks how do you know their sex and he says 3 were on a beer can and 2 were on the phone.

CLOSE, BUT NOT QUITE ACCURATE, SCUBA LADY:
THE "100 YEARS" WAR BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE WAS FOUGHT BY OPPOSING NOBILITY, WHO THEN CONSCRIPTED THEIR SERFS AND PEASANTS TO JOIN THEIR ARMIES.
THERE WOULD OFTEN BE MANY YEARS BETWEEN MAJOR BATTLES, AND THE NOBLES REALIZED THE NEED FOR THEIR LANDS TO BE TENDED, SO INSTEAD OF KILLING CAPTIVES, THE PRACTICE OF CUTTING OF THE 1ST AND SECOND FINGERS WAS ADOPTED, AS A LONGBOW IS DRAWN WITH 2 FINGERS, ONE ABOVE AND ONE BELOW THE NOCK, OR SLOT IN THE END OF THE ARROW....THIS IS WHY IN ENGLAND, THE EQUIVALENT OF GIVING THE MIDDLE FINGER, IS IN FACT GIVING A V SIGN, WITH 1ST AND 2ND FINGERS, THUS SHOWING THE STINKING GARLIC BREATHED BICYCLE RIDING BERET WEARING FOGGY BASTARDS AND THEIR HAIRY ARMPITED WOMEN FOLK (SORRY , GOT A BIT HOMESICK FOR OLE ENGLAND FOR A MINUTE) THAT THEY (WERE BACK TO THE PEASANTS) COULD STILL DRAW A BOWSTRING.
TRUST ME ON THIS ONE…I'VE HATED THE FRENCH SINCE 8TH GRADE WHEN I WAS FORCED TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF SURRENDER FROM A MINCING LITTLE SOP IN A BOWTIE

Comment très malheureux pour moi que j'ai la famille française...none of whom are mincing little sops.

There ya go, Hon! Couldn't have said it better myself. I gotta say, I really dislike those gross generalizations...

I know I'm going to be accused of not being able to take a joke, but as a Newfoundlander (stupid) with relatives from France (cowards), Ireland (drunkards), Italy (mafioso/criminals) and First Nations (all of the above) I have a thin skin for bigotry.
