It Figures. The French Suck. - Marine Corps Community for USMC Marine Veterans

PARIS — The French already enjoy a 35-hour work week and generous vacation. Now the health minister wants to look into whether workers should be allowed to sleep on the job.

France launched plans this week to spend $9 million this year to improve public awareness about sleeping troubles. About one in three French people suffer from them, the ministry says.

Fifty-six percent of French complain that a poor night's sleep has affected their job performance, according to the ministry.

"Why not a nap at work? It can't be a taboo subject," Health Minister Xavier Bertrand said Monday. He called for further studies and said he would promote on-the-job naps if they prove useful.

France's state-run health insurance provider will send letters explaining the importance of good sleep, and tips on how to get a good night's rest. The Health Ministry's Web site offers a questionnaire to help visitors evaluate how well they sleep.

Bertrand said sleepiness causes 20 percent to 30 percent of highway accidents across France each year.

This is why the French have not won a major conflict since, oh, the early 19th century?

And, why in time, very shortly, they will become totally subservient to the "will of allah". Then they'll really have something to whine about.

I might of been a Marine but I'm not stupid, a 35 hour week and cat-naps on the job sounds good to me, not to mention Brigitte Bardot

An update on that photo would not be too flattering-I would think she looks like someones' grandma now. And if you work for the gummint (like I do) you should already be getting away with no more than 35hrs./wk and catnaps! Just don't get caught!

Besides, I wanted to bump this photo (I SAID BUMP!)

Truth be told (rarely on this site) I'd say when that picture was taken most of us were too young to do anything except drool over the very thought of BB; and then change our underwear.

I know you're lying FF-the french wouldn't LET you in the damn country to start with-they know troublemakers when they see 'em!!!

I reckon it would take the whole Fleet to get you into france(you blended in with all the other troublemakers, lol). Was that your reward for Nam?

10Z started so well with his new line of cut and pastes; right up to that last pic of BB. Reality truly sucks! Hopefully we'll see more (young) Bridget and less (old) Smedley pastes in the future!
