Well, that was my belief too, but here is some background on the crisis. I was remembering the old joke about "heaven is where all the policemen are English, all the mechanics are German, cooks/lovers/etc and hell is where all the policemen are German, all the cooks are English, all the lovers are..." what?
French, I suppose, but then who are the cooks? Fine Italian cuisine is actually pretty darn good, but most people would (I thought) say French is tops. Which makes the Italians the lovers, I guess. I do admit they have that reputation for enthusiasm as well, but what about Pepe LePew? He was the epitome of enthusiasm, and "LePew" sounds French...but then again, "Pepe"? Oh my god, maybe he was Spanish, who also have a reputation for hot-bloodedness.
At at that point I became sure of nothing, and my world started to crumble. I knew I had to turn here.
My Google-foo does indicate that Pepe is a Spanish name.
