No eggs at breakfast? How do you live?!?!? Well, at least you've seen
the error in your ways. ;-)

No cheese, either? I thought the French all eat cheese all the time.
There goes one stereotype.

Well, for all that list has done, at least it's helped prove sterotypes
wrong. And that's a good thing.

Anyways, yeah, it's a pretty good joke if you like bad jokes, like you
and I do. I don't think I heard it before, either.
