Another point of view for the forum..AND, I've been eating freedom fries continuously, supporting our troops! Mark Twain loved bashing the French..so in that tradition...(added edit); author of "joke" unknown..obviously not an anatomist/zoologist..as snakes have both a backbone and ...
Once upon a time (allegedly) in a nice little forest, there lived an
orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake.
By a surprising coincidence, both were
blind from birth.
One day, the bunny was hopping through the forest and the snake was
slithering through the forest. The bunny tripped over the snake and fell
down. This knocked the snake about quite a bit.
"Oh, my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
I've been blind since birth, so, I can't see where I'm going. In fact,
since I'm also an orphan, I don't even know what I am."
"It's quite OK," replied the snake. "Actually, my story is much the same as
yours. I, too, have been blind since birth and also never knew my mother.
Tell you what, maybe I could slither all over you and work out what you
are,
so at least you'll have that going for you."
"Oh, that would be wonderful," replied the bunny.
So the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said, "Well, you're covered
with soft fur, you have really long ears, your nose twitches and you have a
soft cottony tail. I'd say that you must be a bunny rabbit."
"Oh, thank you! Thank you," cried the bunny, in obvious excitement.
The bunny suggested to the snake, "Maybe I could feel you all over with my
paw and help you the same way that you've helped me."
So the bunny felt the snake all over and remarked, "Well, you're smooth and
slippery, have a forked tongue, no backbone and no balls.
I'd say you must be French."
