We make fun of the french because it's so easy. They seem to have no sense of humor themselves (Jerry Lewis, anyone?) but the Canooks are good sports and a lot of fun and not snooty at all. My mother is a french-speaking Canook and I've spent a good bit of time in Canada. She's from a town that descended from a bunch of fur trappers--not much snootiness there, that's for sure! I felt very at home in Canada but I doubt if I will ever go to France. Their waiters scare me.
