Nothing is community property unless the person who ordered them wants to share. I think fry-sharing is an analogy of life because everyone has a fry story and some of them are brutal. I have no such personal story to share because hubby and I always share fries cause portions are stupid big. But for everyone else- just ORDER YOUR OWN DARNED FRIES! Lol
This reminds me of my college roommate telling a story about when her brother was stealing her fries. She warned him: steal one more and I’ll stab your hand with my fork. Of course he did, she did, and he screamed: “MOM!!” Mom, calmly: “she did warn you.”
1. According to the Napoleonic Code (which, although defunct in France, still applies to French fries), the fries belong to the husband. Pam and her mother are in violation.
2. Maybe not screwed, but certainly hoodwinked.
3. Freedom fries was a silly, vengeful idea, but there was precedent - sauerkraut was “Liberty Cabbage” during WWI.
4. The call is sufficient. “Veuillez nous pardonner, nous adorons vos frites.”
1. Chips and salsa are community property. Fries are a private commodity unless there is a common law arrangement made between parties after a period of seven years of regularly shared meals.
2. Greg needs to wake the hell up. The french fry foxes have clearly ransacked the proverbial hen house here. (Not the least of Greg’s problems, but might as well start with something he can handle.)
3. Like Crystal Pepsi and baking my mail “just in case” in 2020, some things are better off forgotten.
4. Go back further. No French involvement would have meant no Yorktown surrender. We continue to owe them a lot.
If a fry falls off a plate it becomes common property. As someone with bruised knees from bumping rickety tables, I know this. I hope Greg knows how to fry fish because he might be doing his own cooking someday after receiving a text from his wife. As a kid in the 70s ketchup was our hot sauce.
Best to order fries (and ideally rings too) for the table. Not so much to keep the peace but because everyone secretly needs them.
off-topic - I had a cronut yesterday and I think the first post I read of yours was about donuts so I'd like to endorse the Cronut. It was realllly good
french fries community property? is it fair game if one leaves the table? or should there be mutal consent agreement to share the fruits of fries with community under condition that there are some remains left for person who foots the bill.
Well, in Pam’s world, its ok for her t lie to her husband when she stole his fries, but can't tolerate other people’s lies? She needs to look in the mirror.
1. Yes, but it's still nice to ask before swiping some. As a heads-up.
2. Very. Pam is probably hiding a bigger secret than the fries. I bet Pam is cheating on Greg with someone else. Greg Two, we'll call him. But Pam is paranoid about Greg One finding out which is why she's making such a big deal about the honesty.
3. I do. Even several years later, as in 2005 when things were going pear-shaped, my family was on vacation in South Carolina and we were in a place by a pier that sold snacks and supplies and such, and they called them "freedom fries".
4. Well, probably, but under present circumstances France is going to need to get in line behind *checks notes* Canada, Mexico, and Denmark. At least.
5. I'm not really a hot sauce guy; just ketchup and/or mustard myself.
It depends on the fries. Were they crispy? Were they fried in olive oil? avocado oil? Air fried? Soggy fries may be community property, but really should be mashed into hashbrowns. The bigger question is whether I have any potatoes left in the house because now I'm hungry.

This falls under fry around and find out
That’s awesome. Love it! Order your own darned fries. Lol
I like your take on community property. What are your rates? I need a French fry lawyer.
X-Large per hour, of course I get paid in fries. 🤪🤭
Excellent story! It must be true.

Liberty cabbage! OMG! These stupid shit is older than I thought.

James this is sophisticated legal analysis with a common touch. Are you interested in the Attorney General job?
Threatening someone with something like that is rather uncalled for, isn’t it?
My apologies.

Ketchup is everything!
What is the policy on Disco Fries? Are onion rings under the same statute? We might need some man-on-the-street reporting for this one! 👀
These questions weren’t covered in law school. I’m filing a lawsuit against my alma mater for all the sides in the world.
You are doing JUSTICE my friend! I await your findings…..👀
I am married in California. Everything is community property.
“Freedom Fries” was the “Gulf of America” of 2003.
Find some under 25 and try explaining freedom fries to them. They’ll feel worse about everything, but you’ll feel better.
I think my mother would have called it “the Gulf of Kush Mir In Tuchis.”
Your mother should’ve been a cartographer
You can have the fries. I want the onion rings.
Love this. I can see it as a movie short.
But it’s not just fries. If someone orders a fruit plate I’m going for a grape. I do ask first tho.
Always go for the grape.

I have never had a cronut. I smell another investigation coming

You have a firm grasp of the rule of law. Would you like to lead the fbi?
French Fries are community property. My wife keeps telling me she takes mine because she's saving me from the calories.
Greg is screwed. He'll only find out she's having a affair accidentally after it goes on for a year.
No hot sauce for me. Don't like it when it's going in or when it's coming out.
Pam is a demon
Total monster
You're asking the wrong question. What about Pam’s lie! I guess that's what you mean by “How screwed is Greg!”
Answer whatever question you like. What about Pam’s lie? Tell us.
Well, in Pam’s world, its ok for her t lie to her husband when she stole his fries, but can't tolerate other people’s lies? She needs to look in the mirror.

Gotta’ be Sriracha!
