But the fact remains that bubbling Champagne originated from France...regardless of who made it popular.
And using cork to seal a bottle is a Roman technique rediscovered in the middle ages.

Do you mind Sir, you are interrupting a game that the English and French have played for over a thousand years. Bubbling wine occurs all over, the French from Champagne had the genius to name poor bubbly wine from the Champagne region "Champagne".
All a bit of a joke, the kings of England were French, you find out problems with wine when you transport it so it was always English kings who drove improvements in French wine.

Dear friends of mine, over the Channel, you've invented the Champagne, surely, but please, keep your hands off our business, and go back to sell your tea. don't worry, we're managing your invention well.
The English is right, it's a game between the two sides of the Channel. Two countries, two religions: wine and tea. Seriously, the Channel is really acting like a mirror. You're doing everything in the wrong way man! Americans have nothing to do with this business, we, english and french, were already having fun together while you were not discovered yet.
Private joke from the eurostar.
But to come back to France and everything like that:
>>Why is there sea tide?
Because, a long time ago, French came to the beach, and the sea, disgusted, ran away. Since this time, it comes every half day to see if they are still there.
>>Two cow boys have been captured by the indians. The indians ask them to find 100 vegetables or fruits or they will be killed. So the two cow boys go away to find the vegetables and the fruits. The first one comes back with 100 cherries. The indians ask him to put it in his ass hole without laughing, or he will be killed. So the first cow-boy begins and he painfully puts the 99th in his ass. But he suddendly laughs, as his friend comes back with 100 watermelons.

>>Wait wait wait! Remind me the date of the independance of the USA? 1783? So that means... we still own a house built 3 centuries before you ever existed guys!
Best joke ever about you, my friends over the Atlantic ocean (I'm dreaming about driving the USA from East to West with my best friend). Please, do not ban me because of this joke but I've never laugh so much!

Funny jokes. No joke ever offends me, but then, I'm not easily offended. I just feel sad the that French women have more five O-clock shadow than I do.

Are we talking about me? Actually... I'm not. And I'm not beardy. But, I've laugh a lot about the myth that french armies are cowards and yellow bellies. I've been in the army for one year, student duties called me back to schools, but I'm still wanting to enter the french army. I swear that I can't surrender in more than two languages: french and english ^^
No not you, just in general...
I spent some time with French Army in Kosovo when I was in the Army. Used to get my Cuban cigars from the French PX.

Was she sexy?
Hmmm all I know is way back I was dating a 20 year old French au pair who was clean shaved,always smelled great and had the sexiest accent and she was just damn sexy.........
I had the best of both worlds as a teenager. I was poking a French/German gal. Hmmmm
In combination with an American/German origin it means 3 nationalities were involved
