If I was French I might be p... - two words come to mind here!
This was the only poo-tickets of "our" brand I could get! So, if you are French indeed, bare with me, I had no choice!
But I have a nice story instead.
I was just 18, my ex and I wanted to take a bike-tour through England, so we put the bikes on top of the car and went to France to set over from Calais to Dover with the bikes.
I looked for a farmer to leave my car there for free (including the car-keys, nothing on paper, but they were honest people, all went well).
4 generations under one roof and they invited us for supper, too.
And Granpa certainly had been in WW II.
We were/are Germans. I expected the worst! I mean... I was full of prejudice!
His accent was very strong, so his son translated to "normal" French.
Guess what he said?
Why... do you leave your car here? Where do you wanna go by bike, how long.....
Not ONE stupid word about the darn war!
To him... it was history and clearly not my fault.
If I was a person more brave I´d hugged and thanked him, too! And maybe he even wouldn´t have understood why!
Well, what do you think of this limited edition with all the "typical French" motives (there is also "la voiture, des l'oiseaus"... (I still have the book "Le petit Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and I still can read it, too).
Do you think it´s funny, do you think it´s full of "prejudice-items" or do you think it´s plain rude?
Oh, here is another Henry, nearly forgot about this ;-)

Be sure to link this up to Paris in July on July 1! Or maybe even the links are open now. It's delightful and I love that the people had moved forward, that they recognized you were the new generation.
Oh, Jeanie are you serious? Don´t you think some people might feel offended? I mean... it´s toilet paper after all, what kind of an homage is this? But maybe you´re right and it´s really just funny...
I think it's just silly/funny, I wonder why the company would use that on toilet paper...
I have absolutely no idea? Soccer maybe? That proofed silly indeed!
