Really?

Scarlett Johansson just got engaged to some French dude.

Those frogs! They're always so smooth and sophisticated.



See what I mean?

Update: Ok, maybe not all of them are smooth and sophisticated...

Update II: You, too, can be a suave boulevardier! Just be sure, when you're speaking French, to avoid these common mistakes (H/T: Captain Heinrichs, Chief of Protocol for Paco Enterprises).

Was put in charge of a group of French who wanted to sit all day sipping cafe. It's so cute the way they pronounced 'Anglosaxon Barbarian', after I barked at them a bit. (And I probably have as much French blood as they do).

I've found the best way to not make mistakes in French is simply to not speak it.

Pepe le Pew was always one of my favorite cartoon characters. "You are ze roast beef to me, I am ze cabbage to you!"

When in a foreign country the best defense in a tricky or embarrassing situation is to pretend you're French

Paco Enterprises has a Chief of Protocol? As in manners? We have to mind our manners? Nobody told me we had to mind our manners. I'm having second thoughts about this deal.....
