"What's the French for 'fait accompli'?"

[Richardo]

I got to say that in a meeting with my boss this morning, wherein we were talking about our Euro-colleagues' propensity for not sharing contract negotiations with us.

She chuckled, but more importantly, I cracked myself up.

Also famous for "Brie and cheese." :eyes:

4. One of my favorite reaction lines is...

..."Pretentious?"
.
.
.

..."Moi?"

Or when someone uses profanity in an inappropriate situation...
.

..."Pardon my English."

Two years of French in H.S. and all I remember is that Mrs. Opperman...
curvy breathy micro-miniskirted Mme. Opperman was the only hot teacher
at our school (of COURSE) and this sentence, "Je mange les legumes."

French is such a sexy language that "Je mange les legumes" is the only
thing you HAVE to know when whispering in someone's ear.
