Chapter 12
And then came Louis the Sixteenth, who looked exactly like a ofrog, which was unnerving even to the Frog masses.
2Louis also had a wife, named pMarie Antoinette, who inflamed the peasants by offering to let them eat cake,
3qWhich created shock waves of disappointment when no cake was forthcoming.
4It occurred to the Frog masses that Louis and his wife might look better without heads,
5Which was absolutely correct,
6rAnd thus inaugurated the French Revolution.
7Fortunately, the French had by this time invented the concept of democracy,
8sWhich means rule by blood-thirsty masses of Frogs,
9And wasn’t very hard to invent, really,
10tBecause the Americans had already done some of the preliminary groundwork,
11Even though they were basically English and therefore stupid and ugly and not at all well dressed.
12Anyway, the Frog masses, now calling themselves Jacobins,
13Which means “vengeful murderous power-hungry idiots,”
14Stormed the aBastille, freeing all the peasants,
15bAnd then guillotined the king and the queen and all the nobles they could get their hands on, and then,
16cWhen the supply of nobles was getting low,
17dEach other.
