The Shirt off our back
Apr 17th 2005MichaelQuote of the Day
The keynote of American civilization is a sort of warm-hearted vulgarity. The Americans have none of the irony of the English, none of their cool poise, none of their manner. But they do have friendliness. Where an Englishman would give you his card, an American would very likely give you his shirt.
Raymond Chandler 1888-1959, American Author
And the French would give you a disease.

LOL. The French. So cultured. So classy.
So cheesy. Send then bars of soap with a note on how to use them.
