4 > 216

Today, July 14, 2005 is the 4 year anniversary of my marriage to my wonderful wife, Anne. It is also the 216th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille and the beginning of the French Revolution. So today, I bring you five reasons that Anne and I are better than France.

1. We've never lost a bid to host the Olympics.
2. We don't smoke.
3. We're not indiscriminately rude. Only to stupid people.
4. We've never been a Nazi puppet state.
5. No berets.

So, with this in mind, I ask you to cross Bastille Day off of your calendars and give July 14 the much more historically significant and, I must say, more fun title of "Bob and Anne's Anniversary."
