I'm in Paris right now, and yesterday, while sitting at a cafe, a guy sat at my table because it was really crowded. We had some small talk, and then he asked me whether I have "un ticket de metro." I said yes, and he asked me whether he could see it. I thought it was a strange request, but I decided to show him my ticket anyway. When I took it out, he just started to laugh hysterically and said never mind. What was this all about? Did I confuse something and came off as a total fool? Or what..?
Que veut dire "un ticket de metro"???
Sorry for posting this in English, I would do it in French, but it would take me much longer...
Peut-être quelqu'un était en train de discrètement te filmer avec son iPhone, juste pour mettre sur Youtube une rare expression faciale de désarroi perplexe mêlée de totale incompréhension.
<< He was high. >>

You know what I asked my boyfriend?
Qu'est-ce que tu preferes: tout epile, ticket de metro, ou foret vierge?
I hope you got it ... :)

C'est évidemment la bonne solution.
It's a matter of pubic hair removal: fully epilated, old-growth forest, or the in-between solution called "ticket de métro"!
<< Baldewin, I thought you were French?! >>
-- Baldewin has a good command of various languages but is a Flemish Belgian, or a Belgian Flemish.

À vrai dire, je suis Français déguisé comme un Flamand d'Anvers. Vous m'avez démasqué, j'admets tous.
Ticket de métro is something we didn't learn at school and which my dictionary doesn't mention, in that sense. ;-)
Well no wonder, we all know that Flanders is much richer so all the French try to get there.
Baldewin is a self-hating Frenchified Flemming, he has to speak French or the the Francophones will label him a fascist.
I am not sure about Baldewin's vibe, he is either one of those timid Flemmy house-honkies who let the Francophones take the piss or a Frenchi troll. Anyway, he sucks off Parisien alot.
PS is Parisian ment to be the Parisien?

This is so strange! When you visit Flanders (or Netherlands), you think them to be the most peaceful, progressive and tolerant people on Earth, but every time I go to language forums (a few besides this one), the Dutch-speaking lot is the most arrogant, small-minded and quarrelsome of all! Il faut se méfier de l'eau qui dort!
Which forums do you visit may I ask? I remember one language forum for instance, where a British and an American is convinced that Dutch from the Netherlands and that of Flanders are actually different language, with Dutch and Flemish disagreeing. Whole the time the Dutch/Flemish remain calm, but the Anglo-Saxons fanatically insist we speak two different languages.
