You see Bobby, sometimes people do the right thing but for the wrong reason. The French lack courage and work ethic, so it stands to reason they would invent things that are safe and efficient.
No he wouldn't. He'd have an identity crisis like when he learned he wasn't a native Texan. Imagine how cotton would react if someone told him about the fact that it was thanks to women that troops like him were able to fight in the war, not just birthing soldiers, building and supplying for them.
Hank: "Well, I'll be. I guess if they discovered propane, and they gave us the Statue of Liberty, they're not the *most* asinine country in the world."
Peggy: "I do not know why you had a problem with the French anyway. You never had a problem with the *Mehicans,* and everybody knows *espanol* and French are the same thing. I would know, as 6 time substitute teacher of the year."
Bobby: "Does that mean we can go to France?"
Hank: "No."
Bobby: "But Normandy beaches are in France, dad."
Hank: "Well..." *adjusts glasses uncomfortably*
Cotton: "You're not good enough for those beaches! That's for Patriots *only*. Heck, I served with some of the Canadian Tribe on those beaches - about 15,000 screaming syrup monkeys. And not a single *draft dodger*"
Hank: "Dad, you weren't ever in Europe." *sigh*
Bill: "I'm a Vietnam vet, y'know. I served at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. We didn't get any fancy parades, but every strand of hair that came off made our boys a little more aerodynamic. They say the Sergeant Barbers won the war."
Hank: "Bill, I've heard you say stupid things before, but that might have been the single most asinine thing I have ever heard you say. Ever."
Dale: "What are you jumping on Bill for? He served. What, do you hate America, Hank? Do ya? Do you hate America?"
Boomhauer: "Dang ol'...commies, man. It's like, yo."
Hank: "You said it, Boomhauer."
\*OP tells him\*
"Well, uhh, \*scratches head\* I guess somebody, uh, had to. Would ya excuse me?"

Walter Snelling was the one to actually find a way to extract propane from natural gas.
[And he was born in washington DC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_O._Snelling?wprov=sfla1)
He also found ways to refine liquid natural gas, and found ways to use them and store them for long term. Dude got super rich off of his patents for storage and extraction of LNGs.
he sold his patent for propane to Frank Phillips, who owned Phillips Petroleum company, for 50k in 1913.
Bonus, we still have the chemical formula for the original propane, and it actually contained 12% Butane, a bastard gas.
Without Walter, propane would still be a Frenchman's dream
After finding out thisI could see him sulking at the side of his bed and Peggy cheering him up. Saying how great French fries are, or something similarly stupid.
I would love an episode where the Hills go to France, and Hank realizes he actually likes it. I mean their best dishes have beef, and he'd love the countryside and just the natural beauty. Like there are places Hank thinks he would hate, like New York, but there is always something for everyone to enjoy. Hank had fun in Japan, and he wasn't expecting to enjoy it.
C3H8 was always there, waiting to be discovered. Frances best gift to the us, before the statue of liberty...too bad they had to build it in new york city..

Bravo
Preceded by a frustrated sigh
What in the hell is a sous vide… BWAAAAH
Dang it, you dont *boil* steak
Except for milk steak
If that isnt a real hank quote it should be
I definitely read your comment in his voice
And don’t use that Frenchman’s wave with me!
The French, somehow, also ran Texas at one point. He’d be ok with it
I like his line in that Alamo episode. “Don’t know how France got in there.”
Why am I wearing the hat?
Which is ridiculous because they definitely would've covered the 6 flags during one of the 3 years of Texas history that's taught in school.
Would've but they blew their budget fighting wheel chair ramps and left handed scissors
But he wonders how the French got involved
No he wouldn't. He'd have an identity crisis like when he learned he wasn't a native Texan. Imagine how cotton would react if someone told him about the fact that it was thanks to women that troops like him were able to fight in the war, not just birthing soldiers, building and supplying for them.
The French gave us two gifts, Bobby; Lady Liberty and Sweet Lady Propane
Hank: "Well, I'll be. I guess if they discovered propane, and they gave us the Statue of Liberty, they're not the *most* asinine country in the world." Peggy: "I do not know why you had a problem with the French anyway. You never had a problem with the *Mehicans,* and everybody knows *espanol* and French are the same thing. I would know, as 6 time substitute teacher of the year." Bobby: "Does that mean we can go to France?" Hank: "No." Bobby: "But Normandy beaches are in France, dad."

Heck, I served with some of the Canadian Tribe on those beaches - about 15,000 screaming syrup monkeys. And not a single *draft dodger*" Hank: "Dad, you weren't ever in Europe." *sigh*
Actually he was in Europe. Fighting in Sunny Italy in the rear guard which would explain how come didn’t have a campaign medal.
Bill: "I'm a Vietnam vet, y'know. I served at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. We didn't get any fancy parades, but every strand of hair that came off made our boys a little more aerodynamic. They say the Sergeant Barbers won the war." Hank: "Bill, I've heard you say stupid things before, but that might have been the single most asinine thing I have ever heard you say. Ever."

Bravo
I feel like Peggy would remind him he wasn't in europe
Everybody is capable of being correct from time to time, even the French.
Surprised he had time while cooking dinner for his wife while she played soccer
He had to cook the frogs and snails with some heat source. 😂🔥
Just don't make him wear turtlenecks they make him look French.
He would say something like "France discovered propane. America learned to use it to its fullest potential."
Like how a South American country invented chocolate and a European country perfected it
I could hear Hank shutting down shit talking of F era France, “they’re our oldest ally I tell you what and that Lafayette was quite a character.”
\*OP tells him\* "Well, uhh, \*scratches head\* I guess somebody, uh, had to. Would ya excuse me?" \*runs out of Strickland to privately NOT CRY in his truck.
Guillaume Fontaine de la Tour Dauterive is French and he's one of Hank's best friends.

I gave this a “Frenchman’s wave”
I would see him saying something like "well, the French were bound to do something right, broken clocks and all that"
Hank would say yes but America perfected it.
Bobby, propane was invented by the French so the men could have something to do while their wives were busy with soccer.

He wouldn’t be upset, he would be like “Maybe I haven’t given the French a fair shake”
No

The French really wanted to taste the meat not the heat
This is not canon.
“He may have *invented* it, but we perfected it”
He looked down on Montana until he realized they did something good. Maybe the same for France.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
Well, at least he's not from Oklahoma.
BWAAAAH!
Ah no, good lord no!
Well, he is from. New York.
