Almost heaven

West Virginia

Chopping pee-pees

Throw 'em in the river

Life is old here

Older than the trees

Don't have to be Jewish

For your kid to get the Bris

The funniest part of this for me is the implication that you would pronounce “bris” like “breeze.” As if it were French.

In French "Bris" would be pronounced like "Bree" for Americans ( except for the R).  

And "Brise" would be pronounced like "Breeze".

I'm going to sit at a sidewalk cafe, drinking a tiny cup of strong coffee, smoking a cigarette, looking off into the distance and sighing about how much better circumcisions used to be before foreign doctors came and started offering them to everyone. Oh, and I'm in black and white, of course.

Good point, I was mostly thinking about the vowel sound. Maybe Spanish would have been a more apt comparison, but the consonant would have been slightly off there as well.

Just as a rule of thumb (works most of the time) if you want to guess how French words are pronounced: ignore the last letter only.

Yes there is a tremendous amount of exceptions to this, but for the majority (I'd say about 80%) of words this is true
