Welcome to France



An elderly gentleman of 83 arrived in Paris by plane. At the French customs desk, the man took a few minutes too long to locate his passport in his carry-on bag.

"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked very sarcastically.

The elderly gentleman admitted he had been to France previously. "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible!", he bellowed. "Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!"

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly stated, "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate your country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."
