QuoteMarie-Joseph-Paul-Yves Roch-Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette, the Marquis de La Fayette

With a name like that in Paris he must have been worse than Star picking up chicks in South Beach.

I submit he departed gay Paris due to having used up all the local supply of womenz.

Nice read, thanks. I never realized Lafayette was that young during the American Revolution...and I was actually taught US history in school growing up. :-[
