The French Say the Darndest Things

At work this morning I was IMing back and forth with my counterpart at the corporate office in Paris. I usually only get about an hour of his attention because of the time difference so I barrage him with questions and requests. He must really dread the end of his day.

Today he ended our conversation with: I'm off to meet my wife down on the Champs-Élysées.

To which I responded: Oh yeah...well tonight my boyfriend's taking me to the McDonald's in Compton!

To which re replied: Lucky!
