    What the French are Proud of …

    Lloyd Garver Survey 2009 reports:

    Since it was France, I couldn’t resist asking a couple of questions about sex. Not surprisingly, those questioned felt that French women and men are sexier than Americans. However, I should point out that this was before I got my haircut.

    Of all the things that France is known for, including their history, their architecture, their art, a surprising 20 percent said that the French thing they were most proud of was … the cheese. The cheese! Forget Notre Dame, Impressionism and the French Revolution. Just pass the Brie.

    Wonder what the Americans are most proud of …? Their extensive History? Iraq? Vietnam? Slavery? Sorry just jesting – they do have Obama afterall – we have Gordon. Wonder if they would like to do a swap?
