Yeah - but it's in France!!

Who the hell would want to go to France?

Heck, even the Brits have something to say about this.....................

An American tourist in London decides to skip his tour group and explore the
city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, and occasionally
stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the lads,
and have a pint of Guinness.

After awhile, he finds himself in a very high class neighborhood.....big,
stately residences... no pubs, no stores, no restaurants, and worst of
all... NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS.

He really, really has to go, after all those Guinness's.

He finds a narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent
buildings and decides to use the wall to solve his problem.

As he is unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobby, who
says, "I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know."

"I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really, really HAVE
TO GO, and I just can't find a public restroom."

"Ah, yes," said the bobby..."Just follow me".

He leads him to a back "delivery alley", then along a wall to a gate, which
he opens.

"In there," points the bobby. "Whiz away sir, anywhere you want."

The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has ever
seen. Manicured grass lawns, statuary, fountains, sculpted hedges, and huge
beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom.

Since he has the cop's blessing, he unburdens himself and is greatly
relieved.

As he goes back through the gate, he says to the bobby, "That was really
decent of you... is that what you call 'English Hospitality'?"

"No, sir" replies the bobby, "that is what we call the French Embassy."

You've never seen the Seine?

Trust me it's worth a trip. You don't even have to stay overnight -
day trip from London on the high speed Chunnel train, *that's* a trip.

Nope.

That would require me to go to London and I'm not going to do that
either.

Them people talk funny.

Just when I think you can't possibly get any more narrow minded, this
gem comes along.

Ok bassy - you obviously want your rhetorical ass kicked again.

Just how does the statement that I have no interest in anything in
Paris, France make me narrow minded?

You have to look further. Anytime anyone here mentions anything about
any country other than the U.S. you instantly and always say negative
and rude comments about that country. That IS narrow minded. You say
there is nothing in Paris that you would have the slightest interest in
seeing? How do you KNOW that, if you've never been there, and will
never go because you BECAUSE you narrow mindedly think there is nothing
there for you?
Broaden your horizons! The Louvre, Moulin Rouge, dinner cruises on the
Seine, Orsay, grand cathedrals, and this list goes on and on.

It's this, with a different hat on:

"I don't like eating fish"
"How have you had it prepared when you didn't like it?"
"I've never had it. I just know I don't like it".

Huh?
Does assembling fishing rods equate with romancing a beautiful woman on
a bridge over the Seine?
Then again, I'm not a fisherman so what do I know!
