Just chalk it up on the list of thngs I say that make the list of phrases that annoy people.  But until someone finds me a better phrase that annoys French people, I'm going to keep using it.

you don't need a phrase, just mispronounce something in French.

Ever try to skip dinner?  Oh geez....
 
 I was on a red eye Air France flight from either Dulles or La Guardia to De Gaulle and they were serving their famous (insert high number here) course meal.  I NEVER fly Air France but this had been a travel nightmare getting to Budapest and I was rerouted to an Air France flight on a Delta Code share.  Anyhow, so I was trying to catch up on some Z's and the Frenchie flight attendant kept waking me up asking my why I didn't finish the previous course and where she should put the next course of cheeeezzzzee.  After the third time I told I didn't want anymore fucking cheese and if she woke me up again I was going to stick that cheese somewhere she didn't want to see it.  I was woken the next time by the French security marshall who asked me if there was problem.  I explained that all I wanted to do was sleep and that she kept waking me up for the next cheese course.  He asked why I didn't tell her that, and I proceeded to explain that I did, more than once, explain that I wasn't hungry and that I just wanted to sleep.  And he asked, with his French accent, did you tell her in French?  
 
 I said in perfect English, "I don't speak French, sir, but apparently she knows enough English to know that I was going to stick that cheese up her ass if she came back, but now you're telling me that she doesn't know enough English to understand that all I wanted to be was left alone?"
 
 I was left alone the rest of the flight, and somehow not met by the French police when we landed.

Guilty as charged for perpetuating it, but I will give the honors to Rhett for the threadjack.

started with, and three years later still at: 20 combo days (sick + vacation), 6 holidays, max rollover 100% of sick/vacation (not hard to do, having vacation days vs. being able to take them are two very different things...)
 
 when i finished grad school, peeps laughed at me for considering # of vacation days as highly as i did - they were only interested in starting salary and bonuses.  now i see them hunting for new gigs as they get burned out, or being really miserable.

Multi-tasking!  I am the master.  
 
 You'll be happy to know that while I'm not directly posting and reading today, I'm going over the latest RIAA pre-litigation letters sent to our students.  I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do with them.  Like I said, I love my job!

Right now I could take off 2 months of work and still get paid with the vacation time I've got racked up. I need to burn through a bit before March 2008, since they've changed our policy around a bit.
 
 Even while touring last year, I only used 7 days of vacation since I worked while on the road.
