That doesn&apos;t cover it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&apos;re French and Canadian so you&apos;re obnoxious and dull,&#8221; Triumph informed one older man. Boasting of his ability to spot the French, he said one guy looked &#8220;superior.&#8221; To his girlfriend: &#8220;I can smell your crotch from here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One poor soul shot Triumph a menacing once-over. He wandered away thoroughly disgusted by the lack of French coming from the unilingual shock-dog.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&apos;re in North America,&#8221; Triumph shouted. &#8220;Learn the language!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One bewildered man was asked if the Canadian health care system had provisions for &#8220;personality implants.&#8221; Yet another, a rotund fellow who seemed to be a separatist, was told: &#8220;Maybe you should try separating yourself from donuts first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The very angry pooch then took it upon himself to rename certain streets, throwing up quaint Euro-style signs inscribed with words such as, &#8220;Rue des Pussies,&#8221; &#8220;C Dion Sucks,&#8221; and &#8220;Eat Me Frenchie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If the Official Languages Commissioner found it necessary to launch an investigation into Don Cherry, they may well issue a fatwa on Triumph. The dog&apos;s virulent assault made Cherry&apos;s hockey visor rant seem like a Mary Poppins song about raindrops and kittens.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>teehee.
