Oh geez, Years ago Angie and I went on a cruise where the main dining room was Versailles. We met a couple of former army officers who were trying to tell us that they had eaten there but clearly didn't know how to pronounce it. "Ver, ver, Versales."
They'd also told us how they were staying in the president's suite and how they'd spent big money on it. So I somehow slipped into full sarcasm mode "You mean Versailles? Like the treaty that ended World War 1? It was in all the papers." -Curt On Sunday, June 9, 2024 at 01:56:22 PM EDT, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: Like Versales --FT On 6/9/24 12:59 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: > Exactly.
