French Town Replaces Patriotic Female Statue - Because her Breasts are Too BIG

A small French town has replaced a patriotic statue in its town hall - because its breasts were deemed too big.

The mayor of Neuville-en-Ferrain, in northern France, swapped the busty model with a more modest replacement after locals in the town 'started to gossip'.

The terracotta bust of Marianne - the traditional female embodiment of the French Republic in a Phrygian cap - was an original work by a local artist, installed in 2007 at Neuville-en-Ferrain's town hall.

The bust was based on that of French Actress Laetitia Casta.



I guess the mayor felt you could have too much of a good thing. Perhaps, in retrospect, I shouldn't have used the word "felt"?

Sex Can Be Dangerous- If You're Doing it Right!

Jamie Jeffords' account of Klingon mating rituals reminded me of a joke for some reason. I heard this joke many years ago, which was supposed to illustrate the urbanity of the French and their mores:

Three French boys, 8, 11, and 14 were walking through a park, when they come across a couple making love off to the side of the path.

“Look!” said the 8 year old, “That couple is fighting!”
“No,” said the 11 year old, “they are making love!”
“Oui. And badly” said the 14 year old.
