French Toast

There are few more humbling experiences than putting a call through to the French Consulate. I thought medical school required you to be able to write fast, but nothing compares to taking down instructions from these guys. Not only do they talk a mile a minute, they also have a knack for making you feel unbelievably stupid for requiring information in the first place. Definitely do not ask them to repeat anything, as it is akin to insulting their mother or denigrating cheese.
