Supply vs. licking
Last night I informed Christian we were out of poultry toothpaste. I inform the poor man of a lot of things, most of probable little interest to him or likely to add anything to his life. I didn’t stop there: I declared I had no intention of buying more.
Christian: ‘Why?’
Me: ‘Because when I brush Mira’s teeth without toothpaste it works a lot better.’
Christian: ‘Oh really? She interferes that much licking like a little fool?’
Me: ‘Yes’.
He understood. Mira though, that’s another story.

T’as bien fait de préciser que c’était pour Mira. Pendant un instant, j’ai vécu dans un univers absurde où Chris et toi vous brossiez les dents au dentifrice au poulet….ouf, j’ai eu peur…j’ai beau aimer le poulet, il y a des limites que je ne peux pas franchir.
bisous
Trop fort!!! Tu me tues des fois!! Je confirme: c’est pas pour nous, c’est pour mon ragoût-toutou. Je me permets aussi de te le déconseiller: c’est assez dégueu en fait!

Sabine, I heard about a totally French moment a couple of weeks ago. I’m giving you a link to the story. There was a shipment of wine from France to US, purchased by a US wine seller. Apparently it was a situation in which the American seller would simply put labels on the bottles and offer them as the seller’s own product.
The customs agents sampled the wine, and declared that it was not pinot noir, and was an inferior blend.
I can’t imagine any US customs official being able to discern wine from barbecue sauce, but these French gendarmes took a whiff and a sip, and now there is a winery in big, big trouble. Hearing the story, I laughed so hard, not about the winery, but about these customs agents.
Here’s the link:

This is killing me!! First, ‘Red Bicyclette’!! And ‘French Customs officers with a nose for wine’!! It’s almost phrased out of the Simpsons (cue ‘huuuunnn huuuunnn huuunnn’ French laughter).
Thank you for this! :)
