A Daily Thing

Christian tells me this from time to time.  Usually when I have blurted out something that he considers a nugget of the French essence or spirit.

Past ‘You’re so French’ have been given when I have asked: ‘Who are Crosby Stills and Nash?’ or when I have ragged on something in a ‘we do it better’ or ‘let’s strike’ kind of way.

The last ‘You’re so French’ to date was given a few nights ago while watching tv.  It went something like this:

Me: ‘What is this Mighty Boosh?’

Christian: ‘It’s surreal humour.’

Me: ‘Is it surreal British humour?’

Christian: ‘Yes.’

Me: ‘Oh god no.’

PS: Another good one for Christian is when I ask ‘Who are those Three Stooges?  And if ‘stooge’ means idiot, then they are calling themselves ‘The Three Idiots’.  Why would they do that?’
