jonovate Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 The elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. At the French Customs he fumbled for his passport. "You 'Ave been to 'Franze' before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically. The old gent admitted that he had been to France previously. "Zen, you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready for inspection." The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." "Dat is impossible! You Americans alwayz 'ave to show your passports on arrival in Franze!" The American senior gave the Frenchman a long, hard look. Then he quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."
