A man went to his psychiatrist and said, “Doc, my wife thinks she’s a chicken.”
“Well,” said the doctor, “Bring her in. I can cure that.”
“I don’t know,” said the man. “I’ve come to appreciate the eggs.”


First, I can’t believe Alizée suffers a lack of self-esteem or intimacy.
Second, I appreciate the eggs.
First off, great joke! I always appreciate chicken humor.

I absolutely believe that Alizee has had a life-long self esteem issue.

As far as intimacy, I think maybe her reserved nature has kept her from expressing all she wants to, but this only becomes a problem when the other person sees it as a problem. We all fall short in some way in this category because there are too many facets to it.

I think Gregoire is so well matched to her that he brings out the best in her. She looks so at ease with him and confident. I have become a fan of his because he treats her well.

My cynical side tends to agree that there is a money incentive, but I still don't think it's all about money. She's not, after all, an American

France's semi-socialist economic model heavily taxes the wealthy, which will reach 75% soon, and the other tax brackets are very high as well. Tax cuts just never happen. There is not much incentive to becoming rich, unless you become so rich that keeping 25% of it still makes you rich.
