    A group of Americans, retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour. 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 American said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.'

    'Impossible. 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.'

    Another strange French custom thing is shared toilets.
    I was once stood doing what you do when in walked a stunning young
    lass lifted her skirt (At this point I though I was in for some action :rolleyes: )
    She then had a piss and said "In France a Gentelman would LEAVE when a lady COMES IN!" to which I replied "Where I come from Its normal to be IN before you COME before you LEAVE." :cool: End result a Slap in the Kisser. :(

    Good to see that the fine tradition of taking the p*ss out of the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys is alive and well! :roflmao: They are the English's natural enemies of course. I was always opposed to the tunnel under the English Channel, if we were supposed to be physically linked to France we wouldn't have moved away after the last ice age! :D
