I received this story today in my e-mail:
Be aware that the French government announced yesterday that it
has raised its terror alert level from ‘Run’ to ‘Hide’. The only two higher levels in France are ‘Surrender’ and ‘Collaborate’. The rise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France’s only white flag factory, effectively paralyzing their military.
I haven’t been able to conclusively verify this story, but it could be true.

Did you hear the one about how the French thought the German Army wasn’t invading but surrendering?
They thought the germans just used one arm to do it instead of 2 and let them keep on marching. (that was bad!)
How about this?
“The only thing the French should host is an invasion.” Rowna Atkinsin in some movie.
Here I sit in Toronto, surfing the local TV offerings. Beyond the obligatory French channel (I am not sure why because no one in Toronto speaks French) and watched a national news program profiling the 90,000 complaints pending by various ethnic groups for reparations for unfair treatment. They have some interesting ways of looking at things here–the groups filling complaints include Mennonites and Jehovahs Witnesses. When did they become ethnic groups? They must have ink stains on their hands from passing out tracts is all I can figure and that somehow makes them ethnic. The other big difference is that the Canadian Government has only budgeted 25 million to pay off these types of claims, not nearly enough stateside.
A pretty pointless comment with a very thin French tie-in, but its the best I got.
