Salut!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that when you are a kid in France, you learn to play a little funny game called “Monsieur et Madame<\/em><\/strong>”\u00a0(“Mr. and Mrs.<\/strong>“)<\/span><\/p>\n

This is pretty much how it goes:<\/span><\/p>\n

– You ask someone:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Monsieur et Madame <\/em><\/strong><some name> ont un fils<\/em>\/<\/em>une fille, comment s’appelle-t-il\/s’appelle-t-elle?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>“<\/span><\/p>\n

Meaning: “Mr. and Mrs. <some name>\u00a0have a son\/a daughter, what is his\/her name?”<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don’t guess right (and you most likely won’t, if you’ve never heard the joke<\/span><\/a><\/strong>), then you will be told that the answer is some totally normal first name—except that when you combine that normal-sounding first name with the previous family name, the resulting full name can end up being quite hilarious!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s take an example:<\/span><\/p>\n

— “Monsieur et Madame ZEPOWER have a daughter, what is her name?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>“<\/span><\/p>\n

— “Mmm, ch\u00e9 pas moi…<\/em>” (“Mmm, I dunno…”)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

— “Elle s’appelle Agathe… Agathe ZEPOWER<\/em>” (Read “I got ze power”)\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
