French Engineering" Isn't that an oxymoron?French Engineering" Isn't
that an oxymoron?

The above is a quote from a net on antique radios/early TV, wherein the
writer ascertains that one of the hidden purposes of French Engineering is
to drive all other engineers, worldwide, crazy. Another part of the writer's
humor is: "The French follow no one, and no one follows the French."
My reason for including this is that on Sat, I stopped at the local French
bakery (real McCoy, owned by Parisians). After I paid for my purchase, I
motioned to my 505S outside and asked if there was a discount for Peugeot
owners? The owner and I then had a nice chat about his 405 in Paris, how
much he liked his old Citreon DS19, too bad you can't get'em anymore, etc.
Anyway, he than gave me a free croissant. Now I wonder, did he do it as a
"thanks" or because he feels sorry for me driving a French car in the
States? The question begs an answer. :-) Vive la France as they say.
