Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for March 05, 2021

They must be at The French Laundry…..in California.

French toast.

probably no french kiss for shoe…

Mai oui!

Any woman on a date talking about an ex is not a keeper

Women who talk about old boyfriends reminds me of take-off of an old drinking song. — “Take her down and pass her around, 99 women on the wall….”

“Do you want your es car to go?”

Unfortunately he only took her to Chinese restaurants.

Whatever. Make sure to put French salad dressing on it.

If he was so great, why aren’t you still with him?

When visiting Paris a number of years ago, my oldest was fearless ~ he’d talk to anyone in French, order food for us, and so on. My youngest was more tentative and shy and even when he knew how to say something right, wouldn’t unless the prize was sufficient, like a chocolate croissant. (Both kids were in a French immersion program; half of their school day was in French from kindergarten on.)

my take on a scene from a humor book I read years ago. At a fancy French restaurant:

Patron: Sommelier, how is this bottle of domestic wine that costs $15?

Sommelier: Sir, we use zat to deesinfect ze toilets!

Patron: Oh, then we’ll have this French wine that costs much, much more!

Sommelier: Excellent choice, sir!

I try to order in French when I can but apparently my pronunciation is too Anglo

Works well in Chinese restaurants, (except in France, ’cause, well, you know)

What would you expect from a politician

I know how to speak to the waiter in French… Donnez-lui l’addition. Elle paie!

Shoe…she wants french fries ON her French toast.

At least he didn’t order a french door. Or french bulldog.

She does look like the type who would wear french heels.

I once wanted to order something in a Chinese restaurant. I do not speak Chinese (regrets) and I had forgotten the name of the item in English. Yet, knowing Japanese, was able to write the name of the item in Japanese Kanji characters, which is the same as in Han Chinese characters, and was able to communicate with no problem.

And he speaks French when irritated.

Pommes frites and pain perdu in Francais.

C’est magnifique!

When a woman starts comparing you to her last boyfriend, especially unfavorably, it should be your last date.

It just might be along with that gawdawful over priced wine list !!!

Not actually that impressive… it was a Japanese restaurant.

And that must be french wine

I thought we changed those to “Freedom Fries” and “Western Toast”.

Ever the charmer, Shoe.
