Here is a truly excellent one that is hardly believable.
So you may have heard (or not) that the French Minister of Ecology, François de Rugy, has just thrown the towel and resigned after a brief, major and violent scandal.
Let's reel back the whole thing...
It happened that De Rugy threw lavish dinners that included LOBSTERS, a pretty expensive meal, and in those days of Yellow Jackets riots, he was shot down in flames, Marie-Antoinette "La brioche" style.
He was bashed and burned and shot by the now-classic social media firestorm. What's more, people dug out giant inflatable lobsters (no kidding, send me ROTFLMAO) everywhere he go, until he resigned two days ago.
(yes, such things exist, on Amazon, of course. https://www.amazon.com/Inflatable-GIANT-Lobster-Float-decorations/dp/B071D1RSTL ROTF )
Where it goes EXTRAORDINARILY FUNNY is that there is a famous french recipe of lobster called "Le homard THERMIDOR." (homard = lobster)
Now you may ask, what the heck is THERMIDOR ? Well, wikipedia has the answer, as usual.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermidor
Which exactly mean (drums rolling) that De Rugy resigned the first day in the MONTH OF THE LOBSTER. Invented by the yellow jacket rioters ancestors in 1790.
It is a french fellow prankster at the France Fights On forum that tell me that good one yesterday evening and it just made my night and my day. I'm actually laughing like an idiot typing this (trying to type, actually)
As the italians say in their own, unique way
se non è vero, è bene trovato

Thermidor was the second month of the summer quarter (mois d'été). It started July 19 or 20. It ended August 17 or 18.
