From a 1952 Air France poster advertising flights to Corsica.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

As France flirts with political Armageddon, my mind returns to the gentleman with whom I shared a flight in 1996.\u00a0I was returning from India on an Air France flight bound for Paris. He was sitting to my right, an unshaven, tousle-haired man in his thirties who smoked incessantly and refused all food, drinking only coffee.<\/p>\n

I asked him where he was from and he said Corsica. The Corsicans, he explained, were \u201cthe most dangerous people in the world,\u201d and he showed me the tiny knives tattooed on his shoulder. I can\u2019t be sure, but I believe each represented someone he had killed. I asked him if he had enjoyed his time in India and he said, \u201cI\u00a0hate\u00a0<\/em>it.\u201d He was \u201ctoo sensitive,\u201d he explained: the poverty hurt his feelings. I asked if he had liked the food, at least, and he replied, \u201cFrench food is the best in the world.\u201d When I suggested this was a matter of opinion, he banged his fist on the pullout tray and said: \u201cNO. IT IS KNOWN.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

As we flew over Europe, he explained that he had the HIV virus, and sadness overtook his features. I put my hand on his before realizing that he was not the sort of man with whom one could do this\u2014he had a tattoo of a dagger on his wrist, too. After I\u2019d offered my condolences, he fixed me with his eyes and said, \u201cDo not think this will not happen to you. It will<\/em>. It will<\/em> happen to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

We made an unscheduled stop in Frankfurt because of a problem with the aircraft\u2019s fuel tank. They put on a Tom Cruise movie, Mission: Impossible<\/em>, and gave us more food, which he again refused to eat. I had wanted to see Mission: Impossible<\/em> for some time and was delighted. He was not. When the movie stopped prematurely and the captain announced the problem was fixed and we could take off, he began to celebrate, throwing his headphones to the floor and shouting, \u201cFuck this fucking movie!\u201d<\/p>\n

Some minutes later he leaned over and explained he was carrying a large amount of hashish in his belly, wrapped in cellophane\u2014this had been his reason for traveling to India\u2014and that he didn\u2019t know how long he could go on without using the bathroom. I sympathized. \u201cI also have some heroin,\u201d he said. \u201cOh,\u201d I replied, \u201cand where are you keeping that?\u201d He looked about him furtively before whispering, \u201cAss.\u201d<\/p>\n

When we landed at Charles de Gaulle, I wished him well and, at the baggage claim, stood as far away from him as I possibly could, trembling slightly in case the airport police should arrive and arrest us both. He seemed to understand and did not so much as look at me while we waited for our luggage. I waited until he had gone before leaving the airport, his shoulders hunched, his brow furrowed. We had established between us a rare if troubling intimacy on that flight, and I think of him often. If ever I find myself on the losing end of an argument, my last recourse is to thump the table and say \u201cIT IS KNOWN\u201d in that manner of that angry, desperate, sorrowful Corsican.<\/p>\n

As Sunday\u2019s election nears, I wish to say this. Monsieur, if you are still with us, I am afraid you may be on the verge of making a terrible mistake fueled by your desire to prove the supremacy of French cuisine to Indians everywhere. I urge you not to, and with this in mind, I would like to offer you the following bargain. If, on Sunday, you should feel moved to photograph your ballot paper, proving you did not vote for Mme. Le Pen, I will have a T-shirt made with the following words printed boldly on the front and wear it every\u00a0Sunday\u00a0for the rest of my life: IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT FRENCH FOOD IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD AND SUPERIOR TO INDIAN FOOD IN EVERY RESPECT.<\/small><\/p>\n

Vive la r\u00e9sistance.<\/p>\n
