| 1358447 | 2013-11-01 04:03:00 | Vraiment très drôle ...! je vous laisse en juger. ** True story reported by an English guy who was stopped and asked to give a breathaliser test. The English guy lives near Le Bugue in the Dordogne and at the time he was stopped he was as pis*ed as a fart... The gendarme signals to him to wind down the window then asks him if he has been drinking, and with a slurring speech the English guy replies; 'Yes, this morning I was at my (hic)..daughter's wedding, and as I don't like church much I went to the cafe opposite and had several beers.' 'Then during the wedding banquet I seem to remember downing three great bottles of wine; (hic)... a corbieres, a Minervois and (hic)...a Faugeres.' 'Then to finish off during the celebrations.... and (hic) during the evening ...me and my mate downed two bottles of Johnny Walker's black label.' Getting impatient the gendarme warns him; 'Do you understand I'm a policeman and have stopped you for an alcohol test'? The Englishman with a grin on his face replies; 'Do you understand that I'm English, like my car, and that my wife is sitting in the other seat, at the wheel? :banana :D:D ( ** Really funny, I'll let you judge ...) |

| 1358448 | 2013-11-01 04:44:00 | Absolutely love it. :D :D A family member who has spent a couple of years in France does a really mean imitation of a Frenchman professing to not speak English. He is so good that he says if he is ever pulled over by a cop he is going to put on this little "show" pretending that he can't understand what the cop is saying. I would love to be there to see it. :lol: |

| 1358450 | 2013-11-07 01:00:00 | 10 years ago freshly arrived from France to live to New Zealand I was stopped by the Police just out of town where you have the sign 70 then further 100. The road from town to the 70 sign is going down so many cars are nearly going 70km/h by the time they actually get out of the official town zone. The Police officer told me I was going 70 in a 50 zone. I asked in a very bad english if he had a radar to prove it. He did not have and I continued to argue I was not going 70. I went out of my car walking towards his car asking to see the radar and he got very upset asking me to go back to my car or I will be arrested. I was not very familar with English at that time but I heard him saying "bloody foreigner". I got the ticket and I disputed it by writing the officer didn't have a radar. They replied he was able to measure the speed of a car by his own judgement and as an officer he was not lying. Second correspondance I explained I didn't understood the whole conversation with the police officer but if they could explain what means "bloody foreigner" as I was certainly not bleeding at that time. Fine was waived :D | Osmose (17026) | ||
