10 Things We Should Send Back to France

Happy Bastille Day! For those of you who don't know, Bastille Day is the French ripoff of July 4th, but they hold it 10 days later so they can pretend like it's their own special thing. That's so like France! Anyway, today we're declaring our independence from these awful French things.

Don't get me wrong: France has given us many wonderful things. Aside from the toast and the fries, there is Louis Pasteur and the Eiffel Tower and Coco Chanel and face transplants. Those are all great. But there are still those awful French things that annoy the hell out of me. Here are 10 that we'd like them to take back forever.
