Reason #1239871236 why I love France

Did I mention that there is always wine on the table in the teachers' lunch room?  And that they drink it every day at lunch?  I usually refuse when they offer it to me, saying that I daren't drink wine right before I have class.  Their response is usually "Mais ça aide à supporter les élèves!"...  translation: "But it will help you put up with the students!"
