“Le singe est sur la branche.”

Do you know Eddie Izzard? He’s a British stand-up comedian/actor, and a major francophile. Also happens to like wearing women’s clothes and make-up. If you don’t know him, you simply must watch this bit he does in “French” (subtitled by a fan) about how impractical the French you learn in school can be. Hilarious! Eddie’s our absolute favorite comedian. (Some profanity in the video in case you’re at work.)
