Hate it Love it
An American is visiting in France for several weeks. As his

stay nears an end, he is sitting around with three of his

new-found French friends shooting the breeze. The subject

turns to language, and the American says, "Guys, I do have

one question left. I keep hearing this expression, 'sang

froid'. What does it mean? I know that it literally means,

'cold blood', but how is it used?"



The first Frenchman replies, "Ah, zat is easy. Say that a

man walks into his bedroom, only to find his wife in bed

with his best friend. If he can turn around and walk out

without them knowing he was evair zere, *zat* is sang froid!"



The second Frenchman interjected, "You have eet all wrong!

If, in zis circumstance, zee gentleman can calmly stand

zere, and say, 'Please don't mind me; continue', zen *zat*

is sang froid!"



"Non, non, non!" burst out the third. "If ze gentleman

bursts een on his wife and his best friend, stands there

saying, 'Please continue', and his friend *CAN* continue,

*zat* is sang froid!"
