One day, contempt for the French will unite the world. :)

Contempt for the French seems like giving them more attention than they deserve. :boring:

A Chinese Fire Drill is pandemonium or confusion.

From Wikipedia I learned that a "Chinese Ace" is an incompetent pilot; deriving from the aeronautic term "One wing low," which sounded to some like a Chinese name.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Doubt that.  I'll bet more French know who the President of the US is then Americans who know who the President of France is.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

On a percentage basis, more French probably know who is President of the US than Americans know who the President of the US is.

French need to know who foreingers are, so they can better snootily look down upon them.   :P

Don't male bonobos use oral sex to resolve disputes over females (with the blowee letting the blower have sex with the female as a result)?

They also sometimes forcefully sodomize their own children.
