my son is visiting me this week (he's given the old man a break and crashed for the evening) and we speak French when we are together. he is Canadian and goes to a French immersion school.
so, to cut to the chase, we were out on July 4th at the township fireworks and we were talking. some snooty old broad behind us started talking to the another old bag that was with her just loud enough for me to hear about French people and all the usual bullshit.
well, i think some of you know me well enough that shit like that isn't going to sail on this ocean. i calmly turned around and in my twangy sounding ohio valley accent told her to find a history book and start reading. that the US wouldn't even exist without the help of the French and that the ground she was standing on was first explored and claimed by France and that if the French and Indian War had gone the other way, we'd probably all be speaking French.
it was the most polite fuck you i've ever unleashed on someone.
