Hey Mitch,
Mrs. Siegel used to say ECOUTEZ. That means listen. We were in the same class and she used to drive me crazy. Also the way she said Mirror it was like MIWA. Just finally had a chance to get on the web site. Talk to you soon.

Yeah, but etudez means study, so there! Hey Sue, what..... you think I'm gonna argue with you over who remembers more francais? Non, Je nais pas stupid! Well not too much anyway. Besides, the frenchies suck bigtime and I have zero respect for those morons. Which reminds me of a real funny e-mail I received. In fact, it is so perfect, that as a former Marine, I have to share it, so here goes....

NEWS FLASH!!!

Tuesday, November 10, 2005 - 09:30 AM President Bush May Send Up To 5 Marines For French Assistance President Bush has authorized the Joint Chiefs to begin drawing up a battle plan to pull France's butt out of the fire again.

Facing an apparent overwhelming force of up to 400 pissed off teenagers, Mr. Bush doubts France's ability to hold off the little ding bats. "If the last two world wars are any indication, I would expect France to surrender any day now," said Bush.

Joint Chiefs head, Gen. Peter Pace, warned the President that it might be necessary to send up to 5 marines to get things under control. The general admitted that 5 marines may be overkill but he wanted to get this thing under control within 24 hours of arriving on scene. He stated he was having a hard time finding even one marine that wanted to help those ungrateful bastards out for a third time but thought that he could persuade a few women marines to do light duty before they went on pregnancy leave.

President Bush asked Gen. Pace to get our marines out of there as soon as possible after order was restored. He also reminded Gen. Pace to make sure the marines did not take soap, razors, or deodorant with them. The least they stand out the better.
