Passport Please

[retrocop]

Robert Whiting, 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 bag.

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

Mr. Whiting admitted that 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! Americans always have to show a passport upon arrival in France!"

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 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single effing Frenchmen to show a passport to."

I know this might be an old joke but is somehow worth resurrecting as the French appear to resent and are embarrassed by us winning the war in order to liberate them after they capitulated and collaborated with their invaders . Up yours Macron.

Q: What did the Mayor of Paris say to the German Army as they entered during WWII?
A: "Table for One Hundred Thousand Messieurs. No problem?"

/// collaborated with their invaders ////

A shameful slur on the brave people of the French Resistance, especially those who risked (and in many cases gave) their lives to assist British Airmen and escaped POWs back to Blighty.

When we leave the EU, France will be producing all of our passport....
