Those whiny FrenchJoke from my cousin who's stationed in Germany. An officer in the U.S. Naval reserve was attending a conference that included admirals from both the U.S. Navy and the French Navy. At a cocktail reception, he found himself in a small group that included personnel from both navies. The French admiral started complaining that whereas Europeans learned many languages, Americans learned only English. He then asked: "Why is it that we have to speak English in these conferences rather than you speak French?" Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied: "Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you would not have to speak German." The group became silent.

How about a few jokes about violent bone-headed Americans -- or would that just be too boring? Jake Ortman said on 01/31/04 @ 01:15 PM: I never said americans weren't stupid. I think they are :-). Send me some jokes, and I'll post 'em if they're good :) Raymond Picquet said on 10/19/04 @ 12:09 PM: The French riposte to this insolent comment could have been thus: You Americans forget that over half the troops at Yorktown were French and all of the warships which successfully fended off the Royal Navy there were likewise.
