Passport !!
-----------------------------------
An elder American absent mindedly arrived at French customs at
Paris airport and fumbled for his passport. "You have been to
France before Monsieur?", the customs officer asked
sarcastically.
The ancient Yank admitted that he had been to France before.
"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready for
inspection", snapped the irate official.
The American said that the last time he came to France he did not
have to show his passport.
"Impossible, old man. You Americans always have to show your
passports on arrival in France."
The old American gave the Frenchman a long hard look.
"I assure you, young man, that when I came ashore on Omaha Beach
in Normandy on D Day in 1944, there was no Frenchman on the
beach asking to see my passport!"
