Perfide Albion


The French and the English have been rivals for centuries.  Sometimes the rivalry shows up in the oddest places.

We had dinner with our friends Sara and Christian last night.  We were talking about dogs and French bulldogs came up, along with a comment about how ugly they are.

“Oh no,” said Christian.  “The French bulldog is not French.  It is English, and ugly, just like all bulldogs, and all English.  But this dog is so ugly that even the English can’t stand it, so they blamed it on us!”
