In a mass French effort to avoid armed conflict, even the Eiffel Tower buries it’s head in the sand.
Dooooinng. Buring itself top-first into the ground.
Jacque Chirac was not impressed with the French Armed Force’s simulation of a Terror attack on the Eifel Tower.
“I said blow it up, not blow it up!” pointing skyward.

Is this part of our missle defense shield?

Todd dreaded the thought of calling the insurance company again so soon after his little incident with Washington Monument.
“I told you it wouldn’t fit in the trunk!”
The French got one thing right — they didn’t ban “lawn darts.”
Upset at no longer being the grandest architectural achievement in France, the Eiffel Tower throws itself to its death off the newly opened Millau Bridge.
“All right, here’s the truth. Arnold was at the Bellagio in Vegas groping a showgirl. He got into it with the showgirl’s hubby. The manager told them to take it outside. They ended up in front of the Paris Casino. Very angry, Arnold took the Eiffel Tower replica and tossed it. And it came to rest on our lawn. But we told the tabloid newspapers we thought it was aliens.”
How the Gods play mumbly peg.
Chirac shows that he really would do just about anything for this mistress.
The doctor had seen many strange things in his years of practice, but the proctologist had to admit that Bert’s misshap beat them all.
Submittal #2
The French National symbol, after finally realizing the true nature of the French people in the 20th and 21st Centuries, gives in and follows suit with the Chirac’s mandate.
It buries it head in the sand as the world passes it by.
Dammit, I told you dont use so much fertilizer.
Speceship Eiffel crash lands at Arris Yard
Apparently not hearing that Spaceship One had already won the X-prize, the French attempted today, to launch their own hastily prepared spaceship, which was formerly known as the Eiffel Tower… which then crash landed in Arris Marshalling Yard, a rail yard south of Paris. No injuries were reported, though several bottles of wine were reported as broken… falling out of the hands of shocked witnesses, thinking they’d had too much win to drink, as the Tower flew by.
But the vision they saw was not wine induced… it was real. Said SpokesPerson Ommlette Deux Fromage, “The Rail company doesn’t seem to mind much, but there sure are a lot of really pissed off tourists who were still on the thing when it went up”.
Fromage blamed the presence of tourists on a communications issue; Apparently none of the poeple on the tower at the time actually speak French. Since French law dictates French ONLY be spoken at all Official announcements, nobody understood them.
“We didn’t know what the bleeding hell they were talking about” said Tom Major, a British tourist. “We thought they were announcing dinner, or something.”
Plans are now afoot to move the popular erstwhile tourist attraction back to it’s original location, which should occur as soon as the French government can get all the unions on board wiht the idea, and negotiate terms with the railroad company who is using the structure as a lighting fixture and antenna stand.
“Gesundheit!”
Less than a week after installing their new ice rink on the Eiffel Tower, Parisians have to face the fact that their engineers are no more successful than their military.
Once again the French have proven their extraordinary talent for nuance. It really is the
‘I FELL’ tower.

One of the couples in the “Amazing Race” screwed up again, taking out the Eifel Tower.

Surprised ? What would you do if you were symbolic of French national pride and a mono-testicled Texan won the Tour de France six years in succession ?
Looks like Michael Moore finally made it to the top.
“Several visiting Americans, perhaps too full of freedom fries, climbed to the top. She toppled. C’est la vie.”
