That’s a great one. I had a recent post about a letter I received from a Frenchman who wanted me to layoff of the French bashing…he threw in a “Napolean was a great general” as one reason to stop hating the French.
Stereotypes tend to exist for a reason.
I’m Irish. I’m a soak.
They’re French. They suck.
You play the cards you’re dealt.
