    The English language...

    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 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 Englishman said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

    "Impossible. You English always have to show passports on arrival in France!"

    The English senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained,

    ''Well, when I came ashore at Gold Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."

    My dad didn't even get ashore John,he was very badly wounded by shrapnel in the landing craft on the Dieppe raid..Perhaps he was very lucky as most of those who did get ashore were wiped out by machine guns.. Such is life

    again as you were

    JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.
    DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
    Rusk responded "Does that include those who are buried here?"
