On Friday, October the 13th, in the year 1307, King Philip IV of France decided on a time honored way of getting out of paying his bills. He k**led the people to whom he owed money. It seems that old Phil, who was a typically French military leader, borrowed a bunch of money from the Knights Templar to start a war in which he got his ass kicked, like the French usually do. He then had the people who loaned him the money, (the Templars ), arrested on trumped up, f**e charges, and executed, then confiscated their estates. Ever since, Friday the 13th has been considered unlucky, especially if you are a Templar.

Thank God my background is Anglican (almost Protestant, I suppose)!!!
But John was raised Catholic, so I better warn him to not mention his faith's heritage in the Knights Templar.

It wont work.
1). You ain't a French King.
2). You gotta get them excommunicated first and they might not be Catholic.
3). Most wetbacks ARE Catholic, so your idea may have some merit, now that I think on it.

Pepperbellies. Speak English or Spanish, not Froggish. Someone might think you are one of those Goddamn French.

They even stole most of their "French cuisine" from Spain and Italy. Ever had REAL Spanish, or Portuguese food? DEELICIOUS!
The Portuguese are especially good with seafood.

I have had Spanish, but not Portuguese food that I know of. I love sea food! We just don't get it fresh up here in the panhandle though. I know of one little place that has it flown in daily, and it is always hammered!
