   An American official was talking to a French official; he was presenting
the U. S.'s case for the extradition of Roman Polanski, the director.

   "He slept with a 13-year-old!" cried the American official.

   The Frenchman looked at him cooly, and replied, with obvious boredom,
"A 13-year-old *what*?"

Seen on the back of a VW rabbit driven by a, of course, young blond.

   A young blond *what*?  Since blond is a French loan word, it is one
of the few English words (like fiance/fiancee) to add "e" to make a
feminine form, the car must have been driven by a, of course, young
blond *man*.   8-)
