have your passport ready |
|
|
A group of retired Americans, recently went to France on a
tour. Robert, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by
plane.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in
his carry on bag.
"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked
sarcastically. Robert admitted that he had been to France
previously. "Then you should know enough to have your passport
ready," snipped the Frenchman.
Robert replied, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show
my passport" "Impossible. Americans always have to show your
passports on arrival in France!" asserted the officer loud enough to
draw attention.
The American senior gave the French custom officer a long hard look.
Then he quietly explained: "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach
on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any
damn Frenchmen to show it to!" |
