If in doubt, piss off the French

Gotta love Lance Armstrong, who is considering coming out of retirement—not to try to win ~~a ninth~~ an eighth Tour de France, but just to piss off the Gauls:

“I’m thinking it’s the best way,’’ to anger the French, he told the newspaper. “I’m exercising every day.’’

I think it’s more likely that a Lance return will piss off his heirs-apparent like Ivan Basso, Alexander Vinokurov, and Jan Ullrich, but if it annoys the French too it should be a nice bonus.

And “piss off” is most apropos, non?
