The riddle goes: “What’s the plural for ‘un petit beurre’*?”, the reply being the nonsensical word ‘des touyoux’. When your interlocutor looks at you all puzzled and asks why, you then say: “Because: ‘Un p’tit beurre, des touyoux’.”

It works better when you pull this trick on a Frenchman though… :^D

Yeah, I’m sticking to the French thread… It makes me feel seasoned, not old. =)

“French bread…”
Trés bon!
