He is paraphrasing. Sulfur was the gas of choice during WWI. Really horrible stuff.

As I recall the gas of choice in WWI was Chlorine Gas not sulfur. The other gas which was used mostly by the Germans was Mustard Gas which was much harder to protect against.

Short promo that aired tonight, pretty much the same as we already have though.

In reply #110 we have a quick shot of Michael and Louie walking eating BAGETTES the world famous French Bread a staple of every Frenchman's diet (along with wine, of course.)
In replys #106 and #107 we seem to have scenes of two different BIKE riders symbolic of the world famous bike race THE TOUR DE FRANCE. Spec is that one team is Steve and Allie the other being Jordan and Jeff.
So the detour represents two famous French activities BAKE or BIKE

I like this idea
both could easily end up at the battlefield for the dreaded U-turn followed by a general WWI task. No Roadblock maybe?

Sulpur mustard was the chemical agent used in shells. The sulpur provided the distinctive odor. Thus, Louie's statement.
