Scene inside a Paris bar.
The son of a friend of ours (from Texas) was in a bar in Paris and, someone hearing his accent, asked him where he was from.

Being a smart young man, he said "Texas, but I don't like George Bush "

His questioner immediately started yelling, "F--- George Bush", and before long the whole bar was chanting "F--- George Bush", and buying rounds and rounds of drinks for the young man and his companion.

5. Don't know which bar, but I'll bet he'd have
gotten the same reaction almost anywhere in Paris. :)

7. I forgot to say that the young man is an Iraqi war veteran.
He just returned home in December or January.
