Yes... it was kind of odd... a .22 (I assume .22LR) hunting rifle... this would require some good shooting to be effective.

Although the assassin in Day of the Jackal made the same choice... I guess for concealment. Of course, he had those special bullets....

I always thought French gun control meant dropping them carefully.

Well, what would you call a nation with 200 different cheeses and only one type of toilet tissue, but 'cheese-eating'?

And the term 'surrender monkeys' comes from the Gallic proclivity to surrender at the least sign of military might!

I have heard it said that saying the German word [b][i]'gesundheit'[/i][/b] is the fastest way to clear out some tables at a restaurant in Paris.

Actually [u]any[/u] German word, spoken loudly enough, will do the trick! [:D]

"Cheese-eating surrender monkeys"
Is a line from the Simpsons, uttered by Groundskeeper Willy in a Scottish accent.  Eric explained what Willy meant by that.
