A sense of humor almost on a par with you chaps? I beg you Sir, allow me to differ.
My friend, one cannot even exist in this country of 30 mile traffic jams, $10,000 fender benders, 3 hour waits at airports, resultant road rage, lousy customer service, and the best politicians money can buy without possessing the most perfect sense of humor in the world.
You mention the French have a good sense of the ridiculous. Ahh, but mes ami, like us Americans, the Frogs, sorry, the dear French do have so very much to laugh at themselves about, now don't they?
I personally have no difficulty whatsoever laughing at myself. I pass a mirror several times each day and pause a moment just to practice. And believe me, I have had much practice of late.
I even enjoy making the odd mistake now and again as my wife and friends derive so very much pleasure pointing them out to me.
