The French logic strikes again… Someone had left a finger wipe tissue (with natural lemon extracts) on the table. This product of France labels itself as “Rince-doigts” so where an Englishman wipes his fingers with tissue, his French neighbour rinses them. 

Another example of this uncomprehensible logic is from a soft drink (or mineral water or whatever) ad on the street: “Revitalise ta soif!” Does this mean that by drinking this product you actually stimulate your thirst and make it stronger, revive it?

And one more, that I almost must have got used to by now: almost every shop in the town welcomes their customer with the “Entrée libre” sign. 

Have you ever been to a shop with an entrance fee?
