Peter,

First of all I completely agree that this is a subject  that all of the men on this site can appreciate regardless of their political beliefs.  As for the women I am sure that someone can  come up with a story about  Gerard Depardieu or some other fine french fella.  Now as Paul Harvey says...the rest of the story.

Pascale married a stockbroker from the Ukraine.  They has lots of money and lived a very exciting and trendy lifestyle. All of the people they hung out with were good looking, rich and european.  In fact one night they all came over to my place for a little party.  After several drinks Pascale became convinced that my cat was starving.  I told her that, no the cat was just young and the breed was on the thin side.  She gave me a puzzled look and went into the other room.  When I walked by the room she was in I notice that she had taken the catfood out of my pantry and spread it all over the floor.  Typical Pascale...annoying at times but much like a puppy, too cute to be mad at.  As the years went on she had a beautiful baby girl and seemed happy.  Unfortunately her husband started a relationship with a stripper and ended up dumping  her just a few months after the birth of the  kid.  She was devasted and completely caught off guard by his actions, that being said she quickly rebounded  She moved, on married an even richer guy, this one from Maryland and is living in bliss.  I have never met anybody that dressed like her, acted like her or talked like her.  This girl ate cheese, bread and drank like a fish but never gained weight.  She was a walking advertisement for the french diet. 

So that is about if for Pascale......

Have a great weekend everyone!
