A good thing for France

THE WALL

A Canadian, a Spaniard and a Frenchman are walking on a beach when they discover a genie's lamp. The Canadian rubs the lamp and the genie appears in a puff of blue smoke. She announces to the trio that they will receive a total of three wishes, one each, so they should consider their wishes wisely. The Spaniard is first, and asks the genie to make his country fruitful, his countrywomen beautiful and his traditions preserved. The genie grants the wish. The Frenchman is second. "I'm sick and tired of my homeland being invaded every half century. I would like an impenetrable wall built to protect my beloved France, one which no one can scale." The genie grants the wish. The Canadian thinks for a moment, and asks the genie, "I'm curious about this wall. How big is it?" The genie replies, "The wall around France is 20 miles high and 10 miles thick. It cannot be penetrated from either side, or climbed, and all the French people of the world are safe inside." "Great," says the Canadian. "Fill it with water."

Permit me to post a johnny depp quote..



===[ start ]===

BERLIN (Reuters) - Hollywood star Johnny Depp (news) said on Wednesday the United States was a stupid, aggressive puppy and he would not live there until the political climate changed.



The 40-year-old actor, who stars in the "Pirates of the Caribbean," told the German news magazine Stern he was happier staying in the south of France with his wife, the French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis (news), and their two children.



"America is dumb, it's like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive," he said.



"My daughter is four, my boy is one. I'd like them to see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out," said the star of the off-beat films "Edward Scissorhands" and "Dead Man."



Depp slammed George W. Bush's administration for its criticism of French opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq (news - web sites).



"I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots," he told Stern.

Not to be a dick, but you don't know where the joke originated. You probably weren't alive when it originated. It could have been about bumfuck egypt.
