and
#27 - Addison begs to differ. :) The French people all come in McD's on the weekend.
#30.......argue about whose power saw is better.....not just friends who argue, but entire families. On both sides!
Yeah, I didn't know anything about the French/English fast food thing. That was one I wondered about. Does anyone know what that's all about anyway? I mean the story behind it. And also I'm in the dark on number 22. But I do know all about the power saw battles, lol. Power saw competitions were one of my favourite events to host at the club, once upon a time. They were just so much fun. Hysterical power tool hi-jinks!
hah, so true. Exept from a few... they just dont make sense.
