Default Calling Sandy from France... Calling Sandy from France....

Dear Sandy:

Is it really true that the French gave us:

1.) Democracy
2.) Existentialism
3.) Menage a tois

Please let all the RBR readers know.

Thank you.

As Ever, etc.
Joe

No, but they're more than happy to take credit for it if you're stupid

Democracy: Athens
Existentialism: Dostoevsky
Menage a trois: Balzac..or Zola..or probably the Cro-Magnon

Those three are all French, the latter having resided near
Les Eyzies, Dordogne.
