drop R

BUY


(P.S. up a few panels, "The flag of France is blue, white, and red" was so titled because the letter change involved was "Drop O" and suggested a phrase from French I (many, many years ago) which went "Le drapeau francais est bleu, blanc, et rouge" - translated above.)

Years ago in Milano, I tried to ask a waiter, in Italian, if my breakfast tin of marmalade was a fem. noun..His reply .. Oh, no, Signore, a tin of jelly is a BOY forever (I swear that's true!)

BOY ...Btw, that Fr. phrase might have rhymed better if 'le drapeau ... sont rouge, blanc, et bleu' ..non?
