Chain text message going around France today:

"Mets vite la tele sur TF1; des ravisseurs viennent d'enlever sarkozy et demande une tres forte somme d'argent en echange! Si on ne paye pas il menace de le bruler avec de l'essence! On organise donc une quette nationale. Tu donne combien? 10 ou 20 litres d'essence?"

Hey, Grandma Moses started late!

Quickly put the TV on TF1, the kidnappers came and asked Sarkozy to remove a very large sum of money in exchange! If you do not pay it threatens to burn it with gasoline! We therefore organized a national quest. You give what? 10 or 20 liters of gasoline?
