Egypt vs. Italy

I just received the following: I feel so much better now.

Heard another one on 'Les Grosses Têtes' today:

On the war front, at night, a shell lands near a soldier. Succumbing to panic, the soldier flees… He runs and runs. Suddenly, in total darkness, he bumps into another person who is proudly standing there, unfazed.

"Excuse me, Sergeant."

"I'm not a Sergeant, Soldier."

"Sorry, Lieutenant."

"I'm not a Lieutenant either, Soldier. I'm a General."

"Really? I'm already that far from the front?"

Facebook's AI is so damn smart it has somehow figured out that I speak French. At least it is the only reasonable explanation as to why they keeps on sending me reminders in French…

So they can handle a bazillion vanity URLs in a split second, but can't deal with one person's primary language preference?

Maybe they should rename themselves Freedombook…
