Former French President Chirac hospitalised after mauling by his clinically depressed poodle

I thought this had to be a joke.........No way in hell would I ever admit this.
Mauled? By a poodle? A depressed poodle? and then again I guess if I were French I would be depressed too.

Former French President Jacques Chirac was rushed to a hospital after being mauled by his pet dog who is prone to violent attacks and being treated for depression. The dramatic incident rattled the ex-president's wife. HELLO!!!!! ........violent attacks?....being treated for depression?....time for a dirt nap you moron!

That’s the problem Frenchmen have when they get old ... they get too slow to wave the surrender flag quickly enough to avoid getting hurt. Besides, if you want to know if your dog is depressed......just wait to see if he's too apathetic to lick his balls.

Really....The French...you're kidding me!

France's hotel and restaurant staff are some of the surliest in the world and a quarter of hotels are in disrepair, the industry's watchdog has admitted.

The report said that poor wages and only basic training available to staff explained complaints of the "chronic incompetence of staff, or of a disagreeable or impersonal welcome".
As well as concerns about an indifferent welcome - which often amounts to no more than the raising of an eyebrow or puckering of the lips by a haughty maître d, regular complaints refer to long waits for service.
