French Customs

At a French airport... A group of American retired teachers recently went to France on a tour. Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, was part of the tour group. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on. "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!" barked the officer. "Americans always have to show your passports on 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 '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."

Bang Head

The French get all the respect they deserve. It is no one fault but their own that they get NO respect at all.

I don't HATE the French per say as a whole...

I do not however trust their government to be truly our ally. I trust GB, and Aussie much more.

Yea, it's an old joke that google put in a while ago... They also did something like if you type in liar it came up with W's white house web page.

They think they are being funny, or showing their opinion or what ever... but in fact they are showing the world how easily they can (and do) manipulate search results.

*Note* From what I know this is mostly true, but has a slight slant to it. I also am not claiming to be an expert on the French military.
