>>One of my favorite jokes:
>>
>>Why does the new French navy use glass-bottom boats?
>>
>>To see the old French navy...

>It's funny how you hear the same jokes sometimes, with the target changed. I heard that one about the Italian navy. (Along with many others, such as how many gears are there on an Italian tank? 6, one forward and 5 in reverse. What's the forward gear for? In case they get attacked from behind. Etc. etc. etc.)
Why don't the French army march?
Because they run.
Why do the French never perform “the wave” at a soccer game?
Because, that’s a gesture reserved for use only in time of war.

The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.

No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
