French

Since Canada cannot decide if it is part of France or England (really it is part of America), I see lots of French every day. Before I continue, I must mention that I have never taken a class on French. My French vocabulary consists entirely of 3 phrases:

• Bonjour
• Sans gras
• Nouveau!

While I think many English words are funny (ex: tatterdemalion), I've come across these two phrases that are humorous to me:

• Pamplemousse
• Blanc gros

The first one sounds funny and the second one sounds disgusting. So, when I am shopping and I see these on the containers, they give me a second thought as to whether or not I really want to buy this stuff. I do anyway.

And then I found 5 dollars.
