French gonna french. I have always been fascinated by their engineering. There was this joke that Renault headquarters is 16 floors, on the 16 is the top brass, on the 15 are the engineers that design the cars, and the rest 14 floors try desperately to figure out how to assemble them.

Going way back, in Canada the jokes were:

NTSC = ''never twice same colour''

SECAM = ''système électronique pour confondre les americaines.''

Nice job working in SECAM
