Inevitably, on St. Patrick's day you'll hear someone say "Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day!" or something like it. I don't know about you, but I've NEVER heard anyone say "Everyone's French on Bastille Day!" Hmmm... let's see.
Irish:

stout (less than a buck a drink from a liquor store)

the best whiskey in the world (less than a buck a drink)

potatoes (less than a buck, and delicious baked or fried.

drunken red-haired women who dance like pixies

French:

snooty overpriced wine (more than $10 a drink from the wine shop)

runny cheese (less than a buck a serving)

snails and froglegs (I have no idea why anyone would even buy these, so I don't know the price)

angry snooty women who smoke like chimneys

Hmmm... hard to figure why Bastille Day isn't more popular, eh?. Bloody French. Happy Bastille Day.
