This just in. In response to credible terrorist threats against the country, the French Government today announced that its terror alert status is being raised from Run to Hide. Only two more terror alert statuses remain at France’s disposal: Surrender and Collaborate. The recent destruction of a white flag factory in Lyons has threatened to put a final end to France’s military operations. More news at eleven.

Q: How many French soldiers does it take to defend Paris from an invasion?
A: No one knows. It’s never been tried.
Now on e-bay: Vintage WWII French-made rifle. Mint condition. Never fired. Dropped only once.
