You mean your wife wants you to join the Gendarmerie.

No, but she does want me to join the Mounties.

Nothing there surprises me. Having worked alongside the Gendarmerie Nationale, that article reflects their character exactly.
Superb.

Its a shame the French weren't so brutal and strong when it was Nazi tanks rolling down the highways.... oops, sorry, being a little historical there

When they saw a Panzer entering Paris at speed they didn't issue a fine, they said "that's fine"
