It took a few unhappy Frenchman to build the Eiffel Tower. It took a few stoners to figure out that weed causes laziness. And it took a few years of sitting around in smoking jackets for a few Italians to come up with some famous proverbs. You know it, and Ed Janssen knows ‘It Takes a Fabergé Egg to Make An Omelette'.
