I only just noticed this.
Is it just me, or has my famed French-phrase calendar (featuring 365 days of comical phonetic translations) just depicted for me, from Nov. 5-8, all stages of a date gone ugly? Observez:
Nov. 5: We could go to a show.*
Nov. 6: I heard it gets a good crowd.**
Nov. 7: I'd like to see the cathedral.***
Nov. 8: Is it infected?****

*** zhem-reh vwahr lah kah-tay-drahl
**** ooh ooh bay-bee bay-bee

You know this book?
There are 4 or 5 examples from it at this album... great classic humor.
Twain had it down pat: I love Huck's trying to explain to Jim why the French speak differently...
