While there is, in fact, no place in France where the ladies wear no underpants, there is a place where the French police use Linux. These porcs have moved from XP to a version of Ubuntu. They’ve already moved from Internet Explorer and Office, using Le Open Office and Le Mozilla, and the migration should be complete in a few years, provided they don’t strike, have to visit their mistresses, or remain startlingly thin and healthy on a diet of chocolate, Gauloises, and butter.

At least in France, we have still the luxury of being able to make fun of our own police/military or accepting that others do without the risk of being labeled as unpatriotic or some other crap.
Inspecteur Clouzeau rocks!

To quote Darrell Hammond, “That’s big talk from a country whose only contributions to world culture in the last 50 years are Gerard Depardieu and that horny skunk.”
