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