"Freedom Fries" Redux...

[gmoney]

Was just at Subway getting a sandwich, when a military guy behind me orders a sandwich, so he's bantering a bit with the "sandwich artist" guy about how if he wanted American cheese on his Italian sub, he'd have to report him or some such crap. The military guy says "well, at least you don't have French bread" to which the "artist" replies "Yeah, if we had French bread, I'd have to quit." Then they go on about the French threatening to "shoot down any American planes that flew over during Dessert Storm" and how the "artist" would have flown the entire US Air Force over France and if so much as a car backfired, he'd have bombed them to the stone age. And somewhere in there, the military guy says "yeah, those French think we're arrogant, or at least Obama's apologizing for us" and more freeper type shit.

Oh, and he recalled the thing where Subway did promotions for the Chicken Cordon Bleu with the slogan "The only thing the French ever got right." "Yeah, they made us take it down because all of Europe was going to boycott us." Evidently his memory is as bad as mine: here's the real deal http://www.miquelon.org/2005/08/11/france-and-chicken-somehow-it-just-goes-together”-subway/#more-63

It was weird... times like that I wish I had a better memory or a tape recorder. :/

I'll probably still go back, because it's right next door, but I'll keep an eye on that "artist."

1. Call the store manager and complain.

That kind of shit isn't appropriate in a place like that. Just tell him you won't be back if you ever hear that garbage again.

2. Meh. Boys will be boys. Dicks will be measured.

At least they aren't in charge anymore.

3. In that situation, I just might have foregone my normal self-consciousness

and piped in with, "Yeah, it's too bad we had to call on the French to stir up trouble with England back during the Revolutionary War. I mean, it's not like that tiny island nation had superior forces and firepower, right? ... Oh, wait. They did. My bad."

4. France was one of the major combatants!

They sent 15,000 troops and plenty of air and naval support, and lost 24, to boot!

Dumb shits.
