Actually, you got that wrong. It should be: 1) Socialism sucks. 2) France is socialist. Now, class is dismissed.
It turns out the truth seems to be many French families did not want to spend €500 (about $550 I think) it takes to bury someone here. They simply took advantage of the country's shutdown in August to disappear. So the talk is now whether the law can require families to claim their dead members.
"Quick, Grand Pa is dead, get in the car we're headed for Italy." "But mommy, what will then do with him?" "Don't know, sell him for science, turn him in people chow, put him out on the corner for the trashman to pick up... what do I care, we're saving $500....."
The only reason the French are dying from the heat is that they haven't figured out who to surrender to.....
MD 20/20 is the best! Well it was all we could easily steal as children so we had to LEARN to like it!
