Keep the money in your pocket as long as possible.Yes, I have been in that situation myself several times.Likewise, watch those too hefty tax withholdings....Free loan to Uncle Sam.Ideally, tax refund should be closest to zero... I filed mine on line 3 weeks ago.. Got a check in less than 10 days.... LOL.... Another road-runner notice .... Link to comment

B) Well, I have no connections at the Security Council, so it is fair to assume that my EMS or IRS refund ( should have been 4 G's dammit if the visa had come last year .. :-) ) didn't come from arm-twisting Chirac or the 9 other "hold-overs" Puuure LOTTO !! Owen, your humour about Frenchies is ahem..interesting... I might take ombrage about it one day though....LOL. just kidding.. I loved the cartoons....and the "war" rundown... Link to comment

owenkrout Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 I can't take credit for this, it came from my brother and I don't know where he got it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the pictures that accompanied it to post here. Now Eric, is free to pick on us Germans.Only kidding, folks. I know it is a bit unfair at points, but exaggeration is part of humor. Owen A quick review of French military prowess: Gallic Wars - Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, anItalian. Hundred Years War - Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenicwho inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare: "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman." Italian Wars - Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians. Wars of Religion - Francegoes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots. Thirty Years War - France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventuallythe other participants started ignoring her. War of Devolution - Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux. The Dutch War - Tied War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian WarLost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deludedFrogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of Frenchmilitary power. War of the Spanish Succession - Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlboro, which they have loved every since. American Revolution - In a move that will become quite familiar tofuture Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonistssaw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare: "France only wins whenAmerica does most of the fighting." French Revolution - Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent wasalso French. The Napoleonic Wars - Lost. Temporary victories (remember the FirstRule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match fora British footwear designer. The Franco-Prussian War - Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunkFrat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night. World War I - Tied and pissing their pants on the way to losing, Franceis saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forcesforestalls any improvement in the French bloodline. World War II - Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song. War in Indochina - Lost. French forces plead sickness, take to bed withthe Dien Bien Flu. Algerian Rebellion - Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western armyby a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the FirstRule of Muslim Warfare: "We can always beat the French." This rule isidentical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans,English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux. War on Terrorism - France, keeping in mind its recent history,surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrenderto Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's. The question for any country silly enough to count on the French shouldnot be "Can we count on the French?", but rather "How long until Francesurrenders?" Link to comment
