What a surprise! The homeless hero was homeless because he’s a drunken screw-up. Who would have guessed?
Cheese eating surrender monkey retreats from deal.

Breaking a promise AND firing the poor guy. That’s really giving him the business.
The homeless guy probably couldn’t have come up with the 1 euro purchase price anyway.

Groundskeeper WIllie nailed it with that summation of the French.
Truly, “the WOGs start at Calais”
