What do you call a RENAULT DAUPHINE’s journey to the top of a hill?
Divine intervention.
The Government of France got me and other Americans out of Morocco when it shut all borders in March. French government chartered Air France planes to come over empty and return to Paris. Non-French could buy a ticket, but had to have ongoing flights since France was also closed. Meanwhile, the United States State Department and its Consulate in Casablanca did nothing. Could not even supply information about flights. Offered only a phone number which led to a recording about visa appointments. Absolutely worthless. So don't criticize the French. They did something valuable and immediately responded while State Department Officers did nothing.

Back in 1957 I had a Fiat 500. Had about 5 hours maintenance for every hour running, if I ever kept it running for that long at a time. Finally traded it in on a Volkswagen. It was like going from a Model T Ford to a Cadillac. It was a cute little thing though. You didn't so much as getting into it as putting it on.

I had a 1957 Chevrolet in Canada, and I went to work for Citroen were I was in love with the DS19, that was the car for highways in North America, but no service or hard to find, the French carmakers never understand the business ideas of North America. I quit working on French cars in LOng Beach and start with Toyota and never look back.

Yeah....go figure. After the last four years why would anyone make jokes about america(ns)
Hmmm....look what was happening four years ago. ISIS was on the front page. Tension in the Middle East. Now we've had two treaties. A whole lot more peace. Hardly any war. We're not hearing about soldiers being killed on hot zones. Less terrorism worldwide. Iran and Russia are not as aggressive. So, I do wonder when foreigners make jokes about America. And I do wonder why this was not discussed tonight.

A Frenchman walks into a PEPBOYS store and asks if he could get a new gas cap and windshield wiper for his CITROEN.
The parts counter employee explains that this sounds like a fair trade.
When we lived in England many years ago we took our 14 year old and our bikes on the ferry to France with the Dorset Bicycle Club. At dinner that night old Bill (84) took a shine to Bryan and he decided to help him out. He told Bryan he could teach him all the French he needed to know right there. Bryan eagerly agreed.
Bill said (slowly and loudly), “I don’t speak French!”
( True story! )
