A quote from Mark Twain and another from André Gide

"In Paris they simply stared when I spoke to them in French. I never did succeed in making those idiots understand their language."
Val says with a sigh, I sometimes know what you mean Mark.
Malc has been given for Christmas 1, 000 years of Annoying the French by Stephen Clarke so expect the odd quote turning up.
 The quote below from André Gide, French writer and winner of  the Nobel Prize for Literature, makes you think!
"It  is unthinkable for a Frenchman to arrive at middle age without having syphilis and the Légion d' Honneur"
