4 aSuch as risking assassination to prevent the Algerians from becoming independent,
5 bAnd waging a silly war in Indochina to keep the communists from taking Vietnam away from the Frogs,
6 cAnd telling the rest of the world how great France was at every opportunity,
7 And how they didn't need help from America or anyone else,
8 Except for the tourist trade, of course,
9 Which it was the duty of every Frog citizen to support by being as French as possible at all times,
10 Which is to say as rude as possible at all times,
11 Because in spite of everything,
12 Including all their lost chances to be the Chosen Nation of Europe,

14 Which is their abiding glory as a people,
15 eAnd the reason why everyone else is sick to death of them.
CHAPTER 401 And when the end of the world comes at last,
2 It's a pretty safe bet that the Frogs won't be anywhere near the fuse,
3 Although it's also a safe bet that if there's enough time, some Frog will remind the world that the genius of France has just been proven beyond doubt,
4 fBecause the Frogs have been onto the nature of existence far longer than anybody else,
5 Which is why they are so very very proud of the greatest Frog achievement of all,
6 gBecause where would everybody be if the Frogs had not invented despair?
