An 83-year-old British gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. As he was searching through his bag for his passport, a stern French woman asked if he had been to France before. He replied that he had indeed visited previously.
With a hint of sarcasm, the woman remarked, “Then you should know to have your passport out and ready, sir.” The gentleman calmly responded, “I didn’t have to show it last time.”
“Impossible!” the woman exclaimed. “You British have always had to show your passports to get through here!” Leaning in, the man whispered, “Well, when I came ashore on the beach on D-Day in 1944, I couldn’t find any Frenchmen to show it to!”
Wear your poppy with pride.
