Bonjour, good citizens of chickenmonkeydog!
Today we present to you the current state of affairs in a certain nation of the European Union where chickenmonkeydog fans might be having a tough time fueling their vehicles.
All of the gas and diesel pumps seem to be out of working order. How did this little situation come to be?
(a) Coincidence / happenstance
(b) Gypsies
(c) Pirates
(d) PETA
(e) France is under siege by its own people
If you guessed (e), have a pain au chocolat friend, because you are CORRECT!
French President Nicolas Sarkozy recently proposed raising the age of retirement from 60 to 62, causing nationwide demonstrations to protect the sacred right to retire.
Ohhhhh France. C’est la vie! 🙂
I betcha the French civil authorities would love to have a phaser setting of ‘stop striking’!
@Liam, that’s probably the only setting they need! Or perhaps, “accept reality”
I affectionately refer to my seemingly never-ending period of unemployment as ‘early retirement’.
It helps make the tears sting just a bit less….
Is there going to be another revloution? Get out the guillotines.
*Sigh*
Its two years, people. By the time I retire, there will be no retirement. I’ll be righting code on my death bed. fun!
