Thanks for Asking!

To the anonymous emailer (whose address began with adrianoti@) who wrote me a very, very long letter in French:

Bon Jour! Did I say/spell that correctly? Because see, me no parle le Francais. Well, that's not totally true. I know how to say "Would you like to go to bed with me tonight" because of the Lady Marmalade song, and I can also say "I want you to grab my ankles" thanks to a French-speaking former roommate who thought it would be a gas to send a young woman to Montreal armed only with the ability to ask people to bed and demand that they grab her ankles. The imp. Oh, and since I listened to Steve Martin's "Wild And Crazy Guy" album about twenty thousand times, I can order an 'omelette de fromage'; so breakfast would have been taken care of had my other two French phrases landed me an overnight guest. Alas, we will never know--I never did take that trip to Montreal. It's probably for the best.

So since you were neither asking me to bed, offering to grab my ankles, or feed me a cheese omelette, I have no f'ing clue what you were talking about (because--as Steve pointed out--you French have a different Goddamned word for everything).

But Thanks For Asking! Or should I say...Merci de demander!
