I wanted to post a joke about the French but in order to do that I feel I have to balance it by adding a few jokes about the English ... except there aren't any that I could find . Or rather the ones I did find were really lame, like:
Q. What does an Englishman do for thrills?
A. Eats an After Eight mint at 7:30.
Where are all the jokes about the English? I mean we've pissed enough people off - the Irish, Scots, Aussies, Canadians, Americans, Indians, Chinese all have some historical beef with us - so why aren't they insulting us with jokes?!?
Help please ...

Hey, I missed the Aussie abuse. Got a link?
(I have to avoid the [ rated ] topics at work due to sniffers)
An Australian woman and an English lady are travelling on a bus together.
The Australian woman says "Who are you traveling with?"
The English lady says "One should never end a sentence with a preposition"
The Australian woman says "Who are you traveling with, bitch?"
----
(abusing Americans and Australians at the same time - one of my favourites. Other races are of course substitutable)
A man walks into a brain surgeon and says "I want to become an American. I want you to remove 25% of my brain"
The surgeon believes this a strange request but goes ahead anyway.
After the operation, the man wakes to see the doctor looking at him with a concerned look on his face.
"There's been a terrible mistake", says the doctor. "Instead of removing 25% of your brain, we only left 25%"
The man look at the doctor and says "She'll be right, mate."

Q. How can you tell which is the Australian side in a cricket match
A. The Australians are the ones bowling underarm.

Found the following at: http://www.thisisparramatta.com/pomsinoz/jokes.html
Bruce and Sheila
Bruce is driving over the Sydney Harbour Bridge one day when he sees his girlfriend Sheila about to throw herself off.
Bruce slams on the brakes and yells "Sheila, what the hell d'ya think yer doin?"
Sheila turns around with a tear in her eye and says "G'day Bruce. Ya got me pregnant and so now I'm gonna kill myself."
Bruce gets a lump in his throat when he hears this.
"Sheila" he says, "Not only are you a great root, but you're a real sport too."

I must conclude that the English are pretty much perfect if there're so few jokes that ridicule us. Just as I suspected
I liked the whining/engine joke the best
