³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Any more questions?

While in France, I happened to be relaxing in a park with a girl that I had met, teaching her how to play the card game "Go Fish". When it was my turn, I innocently asked if she had in fives, or cinq. Despite studying French for the past six years, I inadvertently omitted the q/k sound from my question, resulting in my "Tu as des cinq ?" becoming "Tu as des seins ?" With a slightly shocked face, she did indeed admit that yes, she did have breasts.
