The French eat garlic and the women don’t shave under their arms. The Spanish murder bulls and can’t cook. People from Norfolk, so inbred they don’t know the difference between a tractor and a Ford Capri.

Americans: as dim as Toc H’s gaslights, they want to eliminate all risk through legislation. You can’t smoke within forty feet of a Federal building but you can own a helicopter gunship and fire live bullets. Their lack of worldliness drives me barking. They’re so powerful and know so little.
