That has gotten me around France on many a journey. And until
recently, when they inexplicably grew more cheerful (I heard it
was meds), the French were not mean, they were grumpy, and a
kind demeanor went far in reminding them that the world
(especially the US) was not a totally screwed up place.
Butbutbut... the world IS a totally screwed up place.
