It's good we can all make fun of ourselves...and others

Word of the day: "Rire:" to laugh

This week I am taking the class, "Strategies for Growth," which happens to be in English with a French professor. (It would probably be better for me to have chosen an elective this week in French to better my language skills, oh well) The prof is great though, and adds interesting insight to the French ways of thinking...despite what we may think, the French are also able to make fun of themselves and others...Here's is the funny tidbit he Prof. Ubaud said in class yesterday when describing the cultures of differing countries nearby:

The French are the chefs, the Italians are the lovers, the Germans are the organizers, and the British are the diplomats,

but all goes to hell when,

The Italians try to organize, the British try to cook, the Germans try to be lovers, and the French try to be diplomats.

Ha. I laughed. J'ai ri.
