I was loaned handkercheifs by two seperate men at U of Chicago, netiher of whom went to school with you as far as I know.
Slippers are also Pantoufles in French.
When I was 12, I went to France with my family for the first time. While puttering down a canal on a little barge/houseboat thing, I found myself in need of feminine hygiene products. This led to much merriment in the bar we wandered into, attempting to find out where to purchase such a thing, because who knows how to say *that* in a foreign language? (The people in the bar, according to my dad, were on to what was going on, but teased us by offering us paper napkins. I find this an amusing tale in retrospect, but it was Not Funny at the time. :) )
