Oh the irony!

French roads have speed limits?

This reminds me of a story that said a high proportion of car deaths in France involved crashing into trees. So the government's response was to chop the trees down to reduce tree related fatalities.

APRIL FOOL'S!!

I thought it was "Avril Sucks!"

Poisson d'Avril!

1582 changeover from Julian calendar to Gregorian calendar - no more "is it hot enough for ya" Thermidore!

Of course, England didn't comply until 1752, so I wonder who are the bigger fools.

Unless of course you meant Avril Lavigne - well, modern music is dominated by pop culture, and pop is dominated by the under-30 top 40. I think Lewis Black said it best when he said he'd rather jam a pencil in his ear than be forced to listen to Britney Spears.

The phrase "jam a pencil" used in the same sentence as "Britney Spears" had so much potential.
