You had me at ravel.



I remember when "ripped" had nothing to do with musculature.

Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.

Have a



day!

OK, French version. My French teacher was a wise-ass.

He went on about jeux de mots laids, versus jeux de mollets.

Word jokes versus "calf game" (1)

Or pecheur versus pecheresse
FIsherman versus sinner, though one could be both, I suppose.

(1) What is the calf game?

The calf game is one of those activities that tests the newlyweds to see if they know each other inside and out, in the same way as the famous "He and She" game or the adjective game. Here, the idea is to offer a challenge to the bride.

She will have to find her husband blindfolded, with the only clue being the ability to touch the calves of several men. She will have to find her partner among them. The duration of this game is estimated at approximately 15 minutes.
