I image you said Bonjour like how Aldo Raine said Buongiorno*
 Previous Message
I went to the hotel restaurant and was greeted by the pretty, young hostess with a friendly “bonjour.” I replied with a friendly “bonjour” and she immediately switched to English.
I guess she figured a Texan couldn’t speak fluent French.
She was correct. But she was very interested in whether I did cowboy stuff.
That day, I did.
