Thank you. I wouldn't want to be unpatriotic. But what about my Edith Piaf CD?
Do I have to put it away for the duration?

Condoms (I think) - American slang from the 1930's or thereabouts.

Good! Fewer crowds for the rest of us! (And no great loss - I suspect
those represent the obnoxious American torustis the French would just as
soon do without.)

If you knew your history, you'd know that Turkey (a Moslem country) had
women's suffrage before America did. (It doesn't take long for
religious conservatives to turn progress around - look at what's
happening here.)

Actually, I'd guess he's closer to 13, gets an allowance from his
mother, and is not ALLOWED to drive, yet. (A retarded 13 at that!)
