In today's blog post, we reveal the reason why some women, despite being successful and attractive and seemingly doing all the right things, remain single -- and provide helpful tips on how to speak French (without actually speaking French).
First up, why some women remain single. (Hint: It's the cat!)
[H/T to friend of the blog Another David S.]
All I can say is, it's a good thing I didn't have the cats when I was dating the spouse. (Though I have had a strong suspicion for a while now that the cats, who spend most of the day on my lap or on my desk while I type, have something to do with the mysterious disappearance of job offers that would take me out of my home office and away from them -- which that video did nothing to allay.)
Next, how to fake French (when you don't know how to speak it).
Merde. Wish I had known about this one before we went to Paris.
I have a French friend who TOTALLY does that making weird sounds bit depicted in the 2nd clip. I thought it was her personal quirk, but now I realize it's a FRENCH thing! Thanks, J!
ReplyDeleteWhen in doubt, talk like Maurice Chevalier.
ReplyDeleteFirst I'm going to have to learn some French swear words...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the How to Fake French vid. And as someone who has lived in France for the past 8+ years, can attest to its complete accuracy. This is indeed an excellent way to fake your way through France!
