If Armstrong wins again this year, the USA will have won 8 of 18 starts since 1986

No, the USA has not won a damn thing. LeMond and Armstrong - with a multinational support team -
have won 7 of the last 17 Tours.

You can bet your ass some dork will, though. Probably one of the same dorks that would where a
"Cutters" t-shirt over there. Talk about "the ugly american"

What about the ugly french?

The one time I was in Paris, I asked the woman at the airport information booth were I could change
currency. She blew smoke in my face and said (in English) that she did not speak English. This was a
woman working in the information booth at a major international airport and she was openly hostile
to Amercians. Gimme that Jersey and I'll wear it!

Cheers,

Jim

Y'know, I can't speak for the French, but if a yank was walking around Australia with US
flag/Australia equivalent, I can't honestly say how long he would survive for..

Imagine a Japanese Tourist in the USA in the 1980's wearing a map of the USA with the rising sun....

Bad form to post a pic to this newsgroup, but that was Fark-tacular! Good job.

BTW, the _most_ tasteless would be the same "France" jersey, but with the German tricolour and
"GERMAN DOMINATED, 1940-1944"

Though a close second might be the "TEAM PUKE" jersey one guy wore to last week's Twoonie race,

You mean you went to France and didn't know how to ask a simple question in French? That's rude and
presumptious. You got what you deserved. Have more respect for the country you're visiting and learn
at least a few words of the language just like you'd expect a French person to do if they were
visiting the US and asking you where the currency exchange was.

So you have direct experience seeing how ugly nationalism is and you want to be that way too?

I would.

My experience at so-called "information" booths was similar, but not in a way that was hostile
towards Americans, but simply hostile towards anyone who expected useful information. I witnessed a
number of exchanges at the help booths in the Gare du Nord station between natives that went
nowhere fast.

So I, with my horrific (beyond that, actually) French from a phrasebook, go up to one of the main
ticket windows and had absolutely no problem finding out exactly what I needed, from a very pleasant
Frenchman, who even lied through his teeth by saying that I spoke French quite nicely!

There are idiots in every country. Bear in mind that the French think that Parisienes (spelling) are
rude. BTW as a brit what is a "Cutters" t shirt.

In the early eighties I did see a shirt that was done in the style of band tour t-shirts that
read "Adolf Hitler European Tour 1939-1945" on the front. On the back, it had a list of the
various countries that they, um, "visited".

Where I live, I regurarly am spoken to in english...people assume I don't speak dutch even without
asking. Whatever happened to the simple phrasebook? It would be so nice if the tourists just tried.

And yes, that is indeed a horrible jersey.

At first I thought they assumed because you're not Dutch and they can tell by looking at you, but
then I realized what you meant. Sorry.
