I'm somewhat surprised the all-too-famous "My tailor is rich" escaped their attention.
The French Wikipedia article on the phrase lists a few other such seemingly strange choices of sentences for language courses, like 'Mister Khettat is an architect'. Apparently an equivalent for Englishmen learning French is «Où est la plume de ma tante?» ('Where is my aunt's pen?').

Eddie Izzard: Où est la plume de ma
tante (with Swedish subs). It was also the name of a French bookshop in Stockholm, which is sadly no longer with us. /aloysius 2 persons have voted this message useful |
