yes, also observe the french *je suis*
can be mis-pronounced *geez you is* which
is an existential reference to the feeling
one gets while driving a sports car with the
top down and all the annoying bugs ironed out.
An ironic existential reference to their neighbors,
the italians and the english, who are the great 
sports car masters and is also proof of jung's
theory of the collective unconsciousness.
