“Ben, you are manure”
“Cross-cut saw?”
“Sausage bun.”
I’ve been living in New Brunswick for 10 years. One would say that I might have had plenty opportunity to learn the French language better than I have. I wish I had spent more energy over the years learning the language. I’ve taken a couple of courses, and I’ve purchased DVDs yet, I’m no closer than I was when I graduated high school. I’m hoping that someday when I see two Frenchmen meet, I don’t think that they are talking about fertilizer, woodworking tools and breakfast sandwiches.
“Bonjour Messieur”
“Comment ca va?”
“Ca, c’est bien.”
Welcome to my Web Blah... er, Blog.
