An annual French celebration
On June 17, France celebrates the 110th birthday of Claude Beauchamp the famous pillow designer who developed the ultimate pillow: one is not enough and two is too many. Claude’s wife, Mercedes, developed the ultimate throw pillow. Placed under one of the ultimate pillows the combination is just right.
Tradition calls for pillow fights in town squares where citizens choose up sides and plummet each other with pillows.
To prevent a reoccurrence of last year’s tragic events, police will examine each pillow used in the fight to ensure it doesn’t contain rocks or motor scooter parts..
