I don't think Frank is French, but he probably kisses that way!

Well, there is no much difference between Belgian French and French French
except for the French in Normandy. This is Just FYI.

If you don't buy my story that Hercule Poiroit is responsible, then it is
definitely Le Commissaire Maigret but who in this thread have ever heard of
Georges Simenon? This is why I made this "cheep shot." Anyhow ALL police
inspectors are French except for Sherlock Holmes and of course Dick Tracy.

I don't know how to read a troll's mind. It is hit and miss. At times I see
something as an attempt to do "tongue in cheek" but mostly you appear to be
deadly serious. It is because you all are so bitter despie the fact that you
are in an "elite" group.

The last paragraph is in reference to your quick retraction in the next
post. In any event anything you do is all heavy handed.

Neither in the US. They have a track record of doing stupid things and
making knee-jerk decisions. They are conceited and stupid people.

You are on the RIGHT track, buddy. This can be endorsed.

Their contribution petered out very quickly after Laplace and Lagrange.

When math stopped being intuitive that was all they could take. It was an
open field for Germans and Jews from that point.

Frank, you are definitely not lacking in the sense of humor but again, why
don't you top post?

All those knaves Ubuntu trolls should know where they belong. They belong
down there, at the bottom of the shaft.

In medieval England kings built those magnificent castles. Sure, at that
time there was no central heating and no electricity and they had no idea if
water conducts it or not but they did not care. The places were cold with a
lot of draft in the winter time.

When the King wanted to go to the bathroom he would proceed with his entire
entourage to that room. Imagine, kings lived on the very top and the
structures were tall, perhaps 100 feet or more. So, the king would go into
his "chamber" sit on a bench and concentrate. And a bunch of knaves would
rush downstairs to catch the precious bits and pieces.

That was also true for the queen and all the royal blood. So the knaves had
a lot of work and could never take a vacation.

This is how I fancy my top posing. You give them sh*it and they have to
swallow it. If they can digest it that would be to their benefit. It is like
offering them a used sandwich. But that is the story from a much later
century.

Who is this "politically correct" knave? My old friend bilingual! Could have
been expected.

I am sure you say much more spicy things about gringo when you are South of
the Border.

Don't be a hypocrite. Nobody will buy it here.

You don't even have to ask them for it. Sometimes they do it just for fun.

That was the only "good deed." They haven't even helped. It was more of a
moral support based on their hate for the British. An enemy of my enemy is
my friend--that was their thinking.

How did they help? Ben Franklin spent years in Paris, big deal!

The revolutionary war would have succeeded without the French. The Brits did
not want the colonies anyway. It was just a perfunctory knee jerk. King
George so much hated in the colonies was actually sympathetic to the war of
independence but had neither power nor stable mind to intervene. He had
Acute Intermittent Porferia which is a blood disorder with psychiatric
consequences.
