Why are the French so rude.

There was a recent survey that came out, and it matches a survey that was made in 2013.
Of all the tourists visiting Europe, Americans were the worst.
The survey cited who were most likely to urinate in the pool, steal items from the hotel, and skip out without paying the bill.
So if we Americans are treated rudely by the natives, we have only ourselves to blame.
A survey deals in averages, not in single instances. When my sister and niece visited Paris, everyone was friendly toward them. The same with London.

If your sister and niece look like these 2 ladies, I understand people were friendly with them.

From the neck up, they are that attractive.
And if I knew if they looked like that from the neck down, I would be in prison right now.
They did tell me that meals at restaurants are very expensive. Many times they ordered one meal and shared it. The restaurants did not seem to mind. My niece learned French in college as did I. So they had no problem getting around the city.

Why in Prison? Is incest prohibited in the US? Not in France.

Really. I do remember taking World History in High School. European Royalty were all distant relatives.
I think it started with Charlemagne. He took a wife in every country that he conquered. Now there was a happy man.

History records that he had many wives and mistresses. He had at least 18 children.
My High School world history class said little about him. Wikipedia has dozens of pages about him. Fascinating character.
I reread about him after watching a program on ancestry. Famous swimsuit model Kathy Ireland was on it. She traced her ancestry all the way back to Charlemagne.
Happy 4th of July to you too.
