A British gentleman of 93 arrived in Paris by plane. 

At the French  customs desk he took several minutes to locate his passport in his
carry-on  bag. 
'You have been to France before, Monsieur?'

the customs officer asked  sarcastically.  The elderly gentleman admitted he had
been to France  previously.

'Then you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready, hein?'
the  customs officer expostulated.
 
The elderly gentleman replied, 'The last time I  was here, I didn't have
to show it.'

'Impossible! The British always  have to show their passports on arrival
in France !'

He gave the  Frenchman a long hard look.

Then he quietly, but firmly replied;

'Listen, Pierre le Fuc%wit, when I came  ashore on D-Day in 1944, I couldn't
find any f——  Frenchmen  to show it to.'
