I can imagine the difficulty for a non-native French speaker to understand this sentence indeed :)) . I'm not even sure every native French speaker would understand it :)) . If you want I can translate it, but it would lose all the fun of it, as I have no idea how to translate the French expressions into equivalent and equally funny English expressions. Christophe.
