I don't doubt for a minute that the french did this subtitle thing. In those days they were still speaking "Real french". Snob it the first word that comes to me to describe their attitude. I'd be curious to know what was the percentage of french European people that understood what René Lévesque was saying.

Ok so would this be a subset of frenglish? ;-)

By the way I don't know if you ever heard that one.

Jean Chrétien had a place to go in Canada and he told his mother about it. His mother replied "Where the f*ck's that?

So that's why Jean Chrétien wore a fox hat whe he got to his destination.

Perhaps you heard it before and with a better punch line. I just wanted you to know about it in case it's the first time you read it.
