I guess you'd have to be insane to swim in it.
Fantastic pun
Would be better if it was actually pronounced that way. But it sounds more like Sin.
No it doesn't.
It does in French
It's pronounced [sฯตn] The ฯต sound exists in English, like the "ea" in " death" or the first "e" in "letter".
So just send without the d?
Yes !
sin, sen, close enough. my point was that it does not sound like "sane" which is what the joke implied and is wrong.
No it doesn't.
Almost makes you wonder if that's what the elections are for.
They have elections to decide who's going to shit in the Seine?
No that's all of Paris, that part is fixed.
The president promised to swim in it though, and a bad election result might just give him an excuse to 'step back'.
