   Reasons the Klingon Language Is Better Than French   
      
   In Klingon, when we swear, everyone knows it. In French, nobody does.   
      
   Does Klingon even *HAVE* a word for "surrender"?   
      
   Really, can you truly complain about the quality of your gagh in   
   French?   
      
   There is no known Klingon translation for "Jerry Lewis is a comedic   
   genius."   
      
   With a mastery of Klingon, you won't have to be bothered with   
   time-wasters like relationships, dates and members of the opposite   
   sex.   
      
   Klingons have 26 ways to describe removing an enemy's spine. The   
   French have 26 ways to describe themselves as spineless to their   
   enemies.   
      
   The French only spit on Americans. Klingons spit on *everybody* when   
   they talk!   
      
   French words have too many Ss, and Ss are for Ha'DIbaH!   
      
   French may be the language for romance, but chicks really dig the   
   he-man who can master Kli-- hee-heeee... who can *sneee!*... wait a   
   minute, I *can* get through this with a straight face!   
      
   The French Language Institute rejects loan words from other languages.   
   The Klingon Language Institute claims useful words in the name of the   
   Empire.   
      
   Klingon love poetry leads to the same thing as French love poetry,   
   except harder and faster, and with more screaming.   
      
   The Klingon language has no "accent circonflexe."   
      
   When describing Jerry Lewis, the French use a word that roughly   
   translates to "genius." The same word translated into Klingon and then   
   back to English means "delicious."   
      
   They don't use it much, but at least the Klingon language *has* a word   
   for hygiene.   
      
   One is spoken by a bunch of arrogant, pathetic losers who like to   
   pretend they have a mighty military tradition, the other is from a TV   
   show.   
      
    and the Number 1 Reason the Klingon Language Is Better Than French...   
      
   The Klingon language doesn't sugarcoat food names -- if it's the   
   rotting liver of a cholesterol-challenged duck, that's what we call   
   it.
